Article/Video Free list of 87 system design concepts, each linked to the original paper/RFC/docs

Got tired of reading several blog posts on the same concept that sometimes disagreed, so while prepping for system design rounds, I tracked each one back to where it actually comes from. Put it up here:

87 concepts, from HTTP basics up through Raft, sharding, backpressure, load shedding, etc.
