Modern Cloud Native System Design

N.B. – This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

System design is no longer just for senior engineers—it’s a must-have skill for software developers, cloud engineers, SREs, and architects who want to build systems that scale, perform, and stay reliable.

This course takes you beyond theory and teaches you how real-world systems are designed, step by step.

You’ll start by mastering core system design foundations, then move into scalability, reliability, distributed systems, and messaging. From there, you’ll design real products used by millions—like URL shorteners, Instagram-style platforms, messaging systems, and video streaming services.

What makes this course unique is its cloud-native and practical approach. You’ll see how modern system design is implemented in AWS and Azure, including real enterprise-grade architectures, auto-scaling strategies, centralized logging, AI-powered workloads, and case studies from production systems.

By the end of this course, you won’t just understand system design—you’ll think like a system designer and confidently architect scalable systems for interviews, startups, and enterprise environments.
