A nOOb learning Scalability. Not much real world experience in scaling out. Doing a side project to learn scalability and the pain points. Started with a MVP and now planning a load test and slowly up the load to say (3K Req/sec and may be more) to see how far my design can hold. 1) Will this teach me queues, pub/sub, sharding, load balancing and yada yada for the system design? 2) Is this the closest to real world learning for someone like me? 3) Or is this no better than reading theoretical stuff and I'm just wasting my time.? 4) Lastly, how do I mimic failovers? Using a combination of Azure/AWS to max out my free quota and then some more. For those interested in the tech stack, leveraging JMeter to load test a NodeJS app hosted on an EC2 spot instance. Yet to figure out a barebone way to scale Dynamodb vs the built-in options. Perhaps this isn't blind's forte may be a quora or stack overflow stuff. There are a few good thoughts here before I explore other channels. TC: Sr SDE 220K
Sr sde is not noob
Well, I made a lateral move to Sr SDE. Not from a system design background previously.
SRE is a good way to learn scalability. They do a lot of scalability.
Lol at Quora for technical questions tho
Build a slack clone just the backend or a very minimal frontend
You’re a senior sde and don’t know this?
Lateral move to SDE and so the question.
That’s not what your post says
