System Design Curriculum

Track 8: Distributed Systems

Study leader election algorithms, CAP theorem limits, sharding maps, and quorum operations.

Syllabus Modules

Learning Outcomes

  • Map consistent hashing slots configurations dynamically to server nodes
  • Calculate read/write quorum offsets ensuring consistency constraints
  • Deploy consensus nodes resolving leader elections split-brain issues

Interview Defense

  • Apply CAP Theorem compromises limits to real-world store design
  • Analyze partition failure behaviors under strict Quorum configs
