Really good #SystemDesign post: https://thume.ca/2023/01/02/one-machine-twitter/

How to implement a simplified version of Twitter so it fits in a single really powerful machine.

A few takeaways:
- modern machines are really fast
- with careful design they can fit even massive scale workloads
- there are a few reasons why this design isn’t practical

Just published: Special chapter about Standardized Provider Abstraction Libraries This chapter talks about important characteristics external provider libraries must have before being utilized by standardized systems. Check it out here today.

The Southwest Airlines disaster brings up some very interesting design issues/patterns.

The one on the left has tight coupling, no single responsibility and a lot of spaghetti (that's Southwest Airlines today).
The one on the right has a single point of failure (that's every other airline)

Maybe both options are just terrible? What's a better design option?

For those who live outside the U.S - Southwest airlines is a local major airline company in the U.S and they have recently caused a lot of delay due to several issues some of which their outdated I.T infrastructure amongst many other things.

There's something there to learn from this incident in terms of systems design and architecture

In system design interviews I always say… “ you can’t use S3 “ and see where things go.
I think folks have over indexed on that service and taking it off the table provides me with much greater insight into how folks think about architecture when choices and budgets are limited.

How Single Server Architecture Works
{ by @AnujAk639@twitter.com } from @hashnode@twitter.com

#systemdesign #blogswithcc https://anujaj.hashnode.dev/how-single-server-architecture-works

How Amazon.com envisioned moving towards distributed computing : “The design of the workflow has to accommodate the fact that some of the underlying data may change while a workflow element is making its way from one end of the system to the other.”
💡 interesting read as it specifies a lot of the advantages and pitfalls before embarking on the journey.
