Overview
System design is where implementation detail meets product scale. DevFlow approaches it as a practical skill: understanding constraints, choosing tradeoffs, and designing systems that are understandable by teams.

Why It Matters
Good system design prevents expensive rewrites, improves reliability, and helps engineers communicate architecture clearly across teams.
Core Topics
- Scalability patterns and service decomposition
- Caching, queues, and asynchronous workflows
- Reliability, observability, and failure handling
