System design under constraints

Turn requirements, workload estimates, and failures into an explainable design.

Turn a product requirement into a defensible service design

A design begins with an action such as saving a link, reserving a seat, or accepting an upload. It then needs rules for ownership, duplicates, freshness, failure, and capacity. A queue or cache belongs only where it helps meet those rules.

Use the design method and mechanism reference first. Each brief supplies a scenario, workload assumptions, a local starting point, and a proposed AWS mapping. Build or explain the baseline before changing scale, availability, or ordering in its follow-ups.
