Designing Systems Series
A series of articles on designing systems, covering topics such as system architecture, design patterns, and practical implementation approaches for building scalable and maintainable software systems.
Background
Yusuf Aytaş writes a technical blog series on system design — the architectural decisions behind building scalable, reliable, and maintainable software systems. The series covers topics like load balancing, caching, database partitioning, microservices, and trade-offs between consistency and availability. This is aimed at software engineers and architects preparing for technical interviews or designing real-world distributed systems. The author draws on practical experience rather than abstract theory. The series matters because system design has become a core skill for senior engineering roles, especially at large tech companies where distributed systems are the norm.
