"In many leading technology firms, system design forms a crucial component of the interview process. This stage often entails crafting a highly scalable system, such as architecting the Facebook feed. While there's no definitive solution to these queries, certain best practices have emerged over time. Candidates are expected to estimate approximate costs, delineate an API and data model, and delve into the non-functional requisites of a hyperscale system.

Several online resources exist to aid in system design interviews, though their efficacy varies. Martin Kleppmann's outstanding work, "Designing Data-Intensive Applications," stands out as one of the premier resources on the subject. Moreover, "Acing the System Design Interview" offers another invaluable tool for job-seekers striving to excel in such interviews.

Divided into two parts, the book guides readers through a typical system design interview and elucidates high-level concepts in Part 1. Part 2 presents numerous illustrative examples, such as the design considerations for Craigslist, Flickr, Airbnb, and others.

Overall, this book stands as a robust resource, highly recommended for fellow professionals aiming to secure prestigious positions in FAANG companies."
