About the event
Workshop on Cloud Concepts 101: System Design Interview with AWS Offerings
Ever wondered what it takes to design systems that handle massive traffic spikes without breaking a sweat?
In this session, we’re demystifying modern cloud architecture. Instead of getting bogged down in complex configurations, we’ll focus on the core software engineering principles and cloud primitives that truly drive scalability. Whether you're building a new product from scratch, scaling an existing application, or preparing for system design interviews, this session will give you practical, production-ready knowledge.
What We’ll Cover:
• Core Scaling Fundamentals: Demystify horizontal scaling, stateless architectures, and elastic server setups • Cloud Primitives First: Learn why leaning on native cloud building blocks beats over-engineering your setup. • Practical Walkthrough: Step-by-step system design of a high-traffic e-commerce platform. • AWS in Action: Map out critical components—like a high-volume guest checkout flow—to key AWS services. • Requirement Gathering & Trade-offs: How to make confident architectural decisions that hold up as your user base grows from thousands to millions.
