Reading and Viewing list

Based on the earlier strategy for preparing for systems design interview we asked Claude.ai to build out a list of topics that we should refresh so that we feel less overwhelmed.

Topics to Revisit:

Design Patterns:

1. Event-Driven Architecture

2. Microservices Architecture

3. Pub/Sub Pattern

4. Queue-Based Load Leveling

5. Stream Processing Pattern

Cloud Technologies:

1. AWS Services (Kinesis, Lambda, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, Athena, Redshift, EMR, etc.)

2. Google Cloud Services (Cloud Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Datastore, etc.)

3. Azure Services (Event Hubs, Stream Analytics, Data Lake Storage, Cosmos DB, etc.)

4. Serverless Architectures

5. Containerization and Orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

Database Technologies:

1. Relational Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)

2. NoSQL Databases (Cassandra, HBase, MongoDB, etc.)

3. Data Warehouses (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake)

4. Data Lakes (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage)

5. Caching Technologies (Redis, Memcached)

6. Distributed Processing Frameworks (Apache Spark, Apache Beam, Apache Flink)

7. Stream Processing Engines (Apache Kafka, Kinesis, Google Cloud Dataflow)

This list covers a wide range of topics related to design patterns, cloud technologies, and database technologies that are relevant to the system design interview questions. Additionally, it includes resources from Gaurav Sen's YouTube channel and other books, documentation, and online resources that can help you deepen your understanding of these topics and prepare effective solutions for the interview questions.
