System requirements (functional and non-functional requirements)
Functional requirements (how to define, working backwards approach)
High availability (time-based and count-based availability, design principles behind high availability, processes behind high availability, SLO, SLA)

Scalability (vertical and horizontal scaling, elasticity vs scalability)
Performance (latency, throughput, percentiles, how to increase write and throughput, bandwidth)
Durability (backup (full, differential, incremental), RAID, replication, checksum, availability vs durability)
Consistency (consistency models, eventual consistency, linearizability, monotonic reads, read-your-writes (read-after-write), consistent prefix reads)
Maintainability, security, cost (maintainability aspects (failure modes and mitigations, monitoring, testing, deployment), security aspects(CIA triad, identity and permissions management, infrastructure protection, data protection), cost aspects (engineering, maintenance, hardware, software))
Summary of system requirements (a single list of the most popular non-functional requirements)
Regions, availability zones, data centers, racks, servers (how hardware helps to achieve certain qualities)
Physical servers, virtual machines, containers, serverless (pros and cons of different computing environments, what are they good for)

Asynchronous messaging patterns (message queuing, publish/subscribe, competing consumers, request/response messaging, priority queue, claim check)
Network protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTP request and response)
Blocking vs non-blocking I/O (socket (blocking and non-blocking), connection, thread per connection model, thread per request with non-blocking I/O model, event loop model, concurrency vs parallelism)
Data encoding formats (textual vs binary formats, schema sharing options, backward compatibility, forward compatibility)
Message acknowledgment (safe and unsafe acknowledgment modes)

Peer discovery (peer discovery options, membership and failure detection problems, seed node, how gossip protocol works and its applications)
How to choose a network protocol (when and how to choose between TCP, UDP and HTTP)
Network protocols in real-life systems (quiz: what network protocol would you choose for various system design problems)
Video over HTTP (adaptive streaming)
CDN (how to use it, how it works, point of presence (POP), benefits)
Push and pull technologies (short polling, long polling, websocket, server-sent events)
Push and pull technologies in real-life systems (quiz: what technology would you choose for various system design problems)
Large-scale push architectures (C10K and C10M problems, examples of large-scale push architectures, the most noticeable problems of handling long-lived connections at large scale)
What else to know to build reliable, scalable, and fast systems (a list of common problems in distributed systems, a list of system design concepts that help solve these problems, three-tier architecture)
Timeouts (fast failures, slow failures, connection and request timeouts)
What to do with failed requests (strategies for handling failed requests (cancel, retry, failover, fallback))
When to retry (idempotency, quiz: which AWS API failures are safe to retry)
How to retry (exponential backoff, jitter)
Message delivery guarantees (at-most-once, at-least-once, exactly-once)
Consumer offsets (log-based messaging systems, checkpointing)
Batching (pros and cons, how to handle batch requests)
Compression (pros and cons, compression algorithms and the trade-offs they make)
How to scale message consumption (single consumer vs multiple consumers, problems with multiple consumers (order of message processing, double processing))
