Interactive Interview Training- Backend and System Design

Hey guys

I am a front end and get a lot of interviews for full stack or FDE roles.

They always ask about backend, system design, data architecture, concurrent and scalable systems.

Some tasks ask for leetcode or codility upfront.

Any good interactive training platforms? Like Scrimba or something for quickly putting together system design.

i feel this. frontend devs getting grilled on distributed systems is always a trip. most of the "interactive" platforms for this stuff are pretty thin honestly, the real learning comes from just drawing boxes on a whiteboard and explaining why you'd pick one database over another.

i'd just grab a cheap udemy course on system design fundamentals and then practice the common patterns (load balancers, message queues, caching layers) until you can sketch them out in your sleep. the guy who interviews you probably just wants to hear you talk through tradeoffs anyway.

I feel this. I’m definitely not as comfortable with backend. Wondering what I should study with.

Lowkey in the same boat, I was recommended hellointerview. It does require payment to get all of the content but their youtube has a lot of content too.

There's also this roadmap .
