System design is, to some extent, about how information flows; by the way, what tool was used to draw the sequence diagram in the third point?😃 it looks cool
Amazing. This can also be extrapolated to explain that you don't always need microservice architecture. If your coffee shop is just starting out, and you have restrictions on cash to spend, then Cashier, Barista and all that is being done by just one person.
This would feel like standard Request-Response architecture.
Cashier takes your order, puts on Barista hat, brews your coffee, comes back and hand it over to you. Then he takes next order and so on.
This is a brilliant article. System design made easy!
Appreciate that!
Glad it made things click, more coming soon to keep simplifying the hard stuff 🙌
Thank you
Anytime! Glad you gave it a read 🙌
Brilliant explanation using everyday use case. Thank you !
Glad it helped make things click; everyday use cases are underrated teaching tools 😄
You gained a subscriber :)
Thanks!

Exactly; understanding the flow of information is at the heart of system design.

I loved it.
Thanks!
Learning about system design in tidbits is a great idea to brush up on important concepts on how systems around us work
True, and once you see it, you can’t unsee.
Thanks!

Yes!
No need to over-engineer with microservices when a single-threaded flow gets the job done.
Loved the real world references, keep these coming my friend!
Real-world analogies make the complex stuff click faster.
I learned a lot in our latest coffee together ;)
Awesome!!!
Well written article
Super useful article, thank you very much!
This was a fun read!
Very insightful article!
And there was me just thinking it was common sense – like any flow diagram
One of the best, easiest article ever read on system design
