Stop Running From Architecture
It's the system-design-101 repository from ByteByteGo — no 500-page textbook, just clean visual diagrams and real-world examples for the exact topics interviews grill you on. Boxes, arrows, and solid interview prep.
Diagrams, Not a Textbook
Instead of drowning you in theory, it explains everything with simple diagrams and real-world examples — the same boxes and arrows engineers draw on the whiteboard. It covers the whole interview checklist: load balancers, CDNs, message queues, microservices, databases, caching, API gateways, and CI/CD — each broken into a diagram you can actually reason about, with real architectures like Twitter and Stack Overflow so concepts click.
What's in the Guide
How the repo teaches system design visually, what it covers, and why it replaces hours of random YouTube with clean diagrams and interview-ready prep.
