Is there any single resource available for system design where we can get information with structure?

There are some good 2-3 system design channels in YouTube. For each topic, I am watching 3-4 videos from those channels and it's difficult to prepare for 1 hour interview due to lack of structure and too much information. It's also taking lot of time in intial preparation. The extra information is good to keep when asked for additional questions. What I need is to prepare for design and deliver if the same question is asked in the interview.
Grokking the system design has lot of details in capacity estimation which I never could come up in real interview. I liked some YouTube videos more than Groking.
Also, please share some tips on how do you make notes to revise with so much info

This book has good practice questions and focuses on what the interviewer is looking for in an answer.
FWIW the structure I use is to outline the key components of the following layers: front end, API/middleware, data/backend.
from there pick one and start fleshing it out, ensuring you timebox to be able to go through all. For me I start from FE since thatβs my area.
finally allow 5-10 mins to zoom out to review any bottlenecks and add scaling considerations.
