I personally prefer the animations and basic concepts. All too often as developers we're forced to jump into more advanced concepts before we even understand the basics. I highly encourage keeping it as basic and simple as possible. This first video has been a very welcome breath of fresh air!
Based on my personal experience, keeping it simple on an interview will not be satisfiable enough, it does require the level of explanation my dude is doing here. bottomline: I do agree with your point that keeping it ELI 5 it creates way more effective learning process, but not effective for an interview processes.
You are my favorite channel oN YT. I love this. Thank you for sharing this stuff. I’ve been a Systems Admin/Engineer for decades. Now I’m a Software Engineer and your channel is such a gift to people like me.
Subscribed! Just wanna let you know that thanks to the first volume of your book, I got 2 new grad offers (yep some companies ask new grads system design questions these days). Look forward to reading the second book and watching videos on this channel!
That's very insightful from you to share your knowledge with the community in another media. Certainly, keeping that quality of animations and contextual description, UA-cam you help you read way more people and potentially make you find your goals! Congratulations on the final product! 👏 Keep it simple enough for newcomers and technically enough for experts. BTW: how did you make those animations? Did you any tools? I really like it. 😁
You all have come a long way, but even this first video is top tier. This also happens to be a very common interview question, so pretty much the best place to start.
I hope you won't lock your content after sometime as mostly people do . You can monetize it for ads as it will still allow financially unable people to learn it for free . Awesome content there man!! Keep up the good work.
True, but early on it was universal. " An early (1993) draft of the HTML Specification[11] referred to "Universal" Resource Locators. This was dropped some time between June 1994 (RFC 1630) and October 1994 (draft-ietf-uri-url-08.txt).[12] In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee emphasizes his preference for the original inclusion of "universal" in the expansion rather than the word "uniform", to which it was later changed, and he gives a brief account of the contention that led to the change." -- wikipedia
The content was good and clear to understand. What I would like is to have a detailed video on the connection setup mechanism like what is TCP (and other options) and how does it work and how requests are made over TCP (or some other type). Also, the pace could be a little faster, although this video was short but in case you make longer videos, then a bit faster pace would be good. Having said that, I love your work so all the best for the channel.
Yes, the pace was a bit slow. I watched it 1.5x. I think it is fine if keeps it the same way if anyone wants to go slow. If someone wants to go fast, they can always increase the speed.
Amazing!!!! It is great to see the visual representation of the book and the posts from linkedIn. Thanks for helping to understand the concepts easily.
Saw your post on LinkedIn and received the email and I subscribed BLAZING FAST. Love you way of teaching and how you break things down and make it easy to digest. My Feedback is that I loved the video and for visual learners its very appreciated the effort that goes into the animations and transitions to bring the idea to life instead of just a block of text or a static image for 10 minutes. So really enjoyed the effort into the visual content.
Congrats! Nice animated diagrams, easy and quick to understand, good calm speaking (for non-english native speakers is quite important), all very clear! When the next video will be released?!
I am doing your online material course and in parallel watching these videos, they are too good and animated is just on point. Looking forward to a video series on System Design. Would love to see videos on Networking and OS concepts.
Big fan of your work, your book, your posts on Linkedin and Twitter. Really liked it and look for more. Also I would like if you can do one video where you show us how you do your beautiful diagrams. Brilliant, looking forward to more.
I have your two books and I was looking for the video version of it. I am so happy to find this channel! Videos are great because it's even more efficient for me to memorize stuff than books. My one request is that you could speak a bit upbeat with rhythm. Maybe this is my personal preference. Even without that I still really love this series and I really appreciate you started this!!!
Great! I've read the first version of your System Design book, and I think this videos are a complement for that content. I like as you maintain these explanations clear and simple. I will keep continue enjoying these great videos.
Been following on LinkedIn for a while, so happy to see this!! And I thought your materials were clear on LinkedIn. It's even clearer on video. Thanks!
I can't believe anyone has the chutzpah to start a UA-cam channel this year when there already many well-established good ones out there. I'm glad you did. This video is good. The videos that followed are great. The keys of quality you discovered are short, animated, good voice, and relevant topic.
I like the video. I was honestly hoping for a video going into excruciating detail about the topic so I can show it to people instead of explaining the processes myself many times. This was a decent overview anyhow.
Great video! I just subscribed to the channel. Your book helped me to prepare for Amazon system design interview, and the knowledge I got was really helpful. :)
Nice clear talking, possibly valuable in the consulting side of IT (enterprises, govt) to remind layman that there is a reason why they should and cannot call the shots (though they can from a user experience perspective).
Great video I got asked in an interview for PM precisely what you explained here and can see that learning from your videos is a great way to improve my technical understanding.
When the content is great -> You don't have to ask for it. Viewers will automatically Subscribe and Like. I liked the video before even watching it because I have read you book and followed LinkedIn posts.
As someone familiar with these concepts, i found this pretty useful for a quick recap, however it will be difficult for someone without prior knowledge to follow what's exactly happening in 5 minute shorts like this. Anyways looking forward for your future videos!
Thanks Alex for sharing the content on UA-cam . Indeed an amazing initiative. Video animations are great and informative and voice is pretty loud and clear. Thank again for all your effort. Looking forward to see more videos.
Awesome illustrations. I'm sort of a beginner to software development, and I completely understood this video. Although, it won't hurt to go a little more in depth, because I literally understood everything xD.
Great video in terms of quality of the context. As a feedback I would suggest going into slightly advanced concepts like SSL handshake and SSL sessions etc.
Hi Alex, I love your content. As a recommendation - it would be helpful if there was a meaningful structure to your playlists. (e. g., The Fundamentals Playlist is in logical order in a building block fashion)
Great video! Keeping videos to 5-10 minutes is a good idea. Also, you guys have a few blogs around HTTP. Would be great if links to topics you're covering in the video could be added to the description. Also, would love to know the tools used to make the diagram and the video!
Great video, it would be better if you are reading the notes more properly as you are illustrating the concepts. It is a great first video and I believe the quality will only get better.
Wow that’s a great video! I am excited about the roadmap of system design videos that are in there making. I enjoyed this video. I see there’s a lot of feedback already in here, so I’ll throw my two cents as well. The strengths - * Great topics * Your voice is really good and pleasant to hear. * The pace is good. * Content and Animations are great Constructive feedback- * Please add some less known facts to some of the major concepts you cover. It requires a tad bit extra research but makes the viewers seek more fun facts. * You could have gone deeper in the DNS cache. There were some areas where I felt that you assumed that the viewers already know somethings. Such as you could have shown a side bar animation for a IP to URL - DNS mapping. * towards the end around HTTP handshakes, the animations almost stopped and the focus shifted on the speaker and it felt a little scripted (it didn’t feel like that in the beginning of the video) I am looking forward to more great videos! Thanks for the creation of this content!
Nice and clear video, this is a great idea to explain specific concepts in an animated way, every developer no matter his skills would understand it. Congratulations and keep this method for further videos!
I personally prefer the animations and basic concepts. All too often as developers we're forced to jump into more advanced concepts before we even understand the basics. I highly encourage keeping it as basic and simple as possible. This first video has been a very welcome breath of fresh air!
I agree with this , Sir
Based on my personal experience, keeping it simple on an interview will not be satisfiable enough, it does require the level of explanation my dude is doing here.
bottomline: I do agree with your point that keeping it ELI 5 it creates way more effective learning process, but not effective for an interview processes.
The worst thing is when teachers draw their lessons with a tablet🤣Like hurry upp just learn to edit
Summary:
1 - Parse url address
2 - DNS resolution
3 - TCP Link
4 - Send http request
5 - The server received the request
6 - Server response
7 - TCP downlink
8 - Browser Parsing Resources
awesome
You skipped the IP provider
Hi thầy ^^
You are my favorite channel oN YT.
I love this.
Thank you for sharing this stuff.
I’ve been a Systems Admin/Engineer for decades. Now I’m a Software Engineer and your channel is such a gift to people like me.
Subscribed! Just wanna let you know that thanks to the first volume of your book, I got 2 new grad offers (yep some companies ask new grads system design questions these days). Look forward to reading the second book and watching videos on this channel!
Where did you order book?
@@izbagov both are on amazon!
Which companies asked system design for new grad?
That's very insightful from you to share your knowledge with the community in another media.
Certainly, keeping that quality of animations and contextual description, UA-cam you help you read way more people and potentially make you find your goals!
Congratulations on the final product! 👏 Keep it simple enough for newcomers and technically enough for experts.

Good explanation, a minor correction. URL stands for “Uniform Resource Locator”
True, but early on it was universal.
" An early (1993) draft of the HTML Specification[11] referred to "Universal" Resource Locators. This was dropped some time between June 1994 (RFC 1630) and October 1994 (draft-ietf-uri-url-08.txt).[12] In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee emphasizes his preference for the original inclusion of "universal" in the expansion rather than the word "uniform", to which it was later changed, and he gives a brief account of the contention that led to the change." -- wikipedia

I've watched a lot of videos about this process and by god this was the best and easiest to follow explanation by far
Amazing!!!! It is great to see the visual representation of the book and the posts from linkedIn. Thanks for helping to understand the concepts easily.
As a web dev, I love how you started your system design series with a web lesson.
How simple and all relevant details were delivered in one video
Please upload more videos 😄
Thanks Alex this is really crisp and clear explanation about a topic in brief, Will be waiting for more
Make sure you keep the length of the videos short, like this one. This is very powerful. Your explanation is vivid and clear.
Saw your post on LinkedIn and received the email and I subscribed BLAZING FAST. Love you way of teaching and how you break things down and make it easy to digest.
My Feedback is that I loved the video and for visual learners its very appreciated the effort that goes into the animations and transitions to bring the idea to life instead of just a block of text or a static image for 10 minutes. So really enjoyed the effort into the visual content.
Happy to see that you finally started a UA-cam channel. I see this reaching a Million subs super quick. Congrats 👏 👏 👏
Your diagram + explanation are so great and easy to understand and retain
Thank you
Congratulations on the launch! The video looks amazing! Big fan here.
This is the best channel I could find on UA-cam for the topics regarding CS/webservice ever!
Congrats! Nice animated diagrams, easy and quick to understand, good calm speaking (for non-english native speakers is quite important), all very clear! When the next video will be released?!
I am doing your online material course and in parallel watching these videos, they are too good and animated is just on point. Looking forward to a video series on System Design.
Would love to see videos on Networking and OS concepts.
which course are you doing/did you do?

Crazy how he has grown to 784k subs…in 2 years.
I like the video.
I was honestly hoping for a video going into excruciating detail about the topic so I can show it to people instead of explaining the processes myself many times. This was a decent overview anyhow.
I’ve looked at a couple of videos explaining HTTP and this is hands down the best one so far! Thank you 🙏🏻
The animations are awesome! My feedback is to upgrade the mic setup. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks!
Great video! I just subscribed to the channel. Your book helped me to prepare for Amazon system design interview, and the knowledge I got was really helpful. :)
Hey Alex! I bought the copy of vol 1 yesterday. Plan to crush it through this weekend!
Nice clear talking, possibly valuable in the consulting side of IT (enterprises, govt) to remind layman that there is a reason why they should and cannot call the shots (though they can from a user experience perspective).
Great video
I got asked in an interview for PM precisely what you explained here and can see that learning from your videos is a great way to improve my technical understanding.
Amaaazing format to deliver such an intelligible explanation
When the content is great -> You don't have to ask for it. Viewers will automatically Subscribe and Like.
I liked the video before even watching it because I have read you book and followed LinkedIn posts.
Great initiative!! Will be expecting video of system design course very soon!!!
Great Initiative. Good content for first video and explained clearly. Keep Going
As someone familiar with these concepts, i found this pretty useful for a quick recap, however it will be difficult for someone without prior knowledge to follow what's exactly happening in 5 minute shorts like this. Anyways looking forward for your future videos!
Crisp and precise…i liked it
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Looking forward to more videos
Great initiative, I love your blog posts. Congrats!
Great video! The animations are so well done!
Is there a playlist for this series?
Thanks Alex for sharing the content on UA-cam . Indeed an amazing initiative. Video animations are great and informative and voice is pretty loud and clear. Thank again for all your effort. Looking forward to see more videos.
Awesome illustrations. I'm sort of a beginner to software development, and I completely understood this video. Although, it won't hurt to go a little more in depth, because I literally understood everything xD.
wow it's honour to have you on youtube. welcome and hope everyone gain something from your videos
Ur content on Linked In is great, looking forward to viewing this channel! 👍🏻
Just 6 months and already 249k subs that too on an educational channel. Amazing work guys!
Great video in terms of quality of the context.
As a feedback I would suggest going into slightly advanced concepts like SSL handshake and SSL sessions etc.
simplistic and great love the format please keep making videos
Hi, I cam here from Linkedin. Very useful videos. Please upload more often.
Where greatness began! Nice explanations
Amazing!! Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to watching all of these videos.
Great video and explanation ! Also your animations are unmatched !
These are the best system design videos I have come across
Great content. Came here from LinkedIn. Got your book.Thank you!
Many thanks for those short videos, please keep going !
I just want to say that these videos are super super helpful! As someone without a comp sci background, I love this content!
That's very helpful, thanks for you tutorial and newsletter.
Thank you so much for creating this. It’s refreshing and easy to understand. Keep this awesome work going!!
Actually I was asked the exact question in a technical Interview, thank you I can answer it better next time
Hi Alex,
I love your content. As a recommendation - it would be helpful if there was a meaningful structure to your playlists. (e. g., The Fundamentals Playlist is in logical order in a building block fashion)
An amazing content with an amazing presentation way (animation and sound) so please keep going.
Loved the animations 😍 which tool you use for it? is it simple power point? or anything much better?
Great video! Keeping videos to 5-10 minutes is a good idea. Also, you guys have a few blogs around HTTP. Would be great if links to topics you're covering in the video could be added to the description. Also, would love to know the tools used to make the diagram and the video!
I assume he used after affect for the well designed architecture animations. You can do a lot of such cool stuff with it.
Please make more of these this is super useful!
Excellent explanation. Very clear and to the point. Thank You for this video. 👍
Great initiative. Keeping it simple and very easy to understand. Excited to learn more stuff.
Your animation is just right. Wonderful work. Thanks a lot
This was great to learn about, looking forward to the next video. Congratulations on new channel! All the best
Thanks Xu. I can't do more than following and learning from you from all places.
Great video, it would be better if you are reading the notes more properly as you are illustrating the concepts. It is a great first video and I believe the quality will only get better.
Simple, relevant, and kind. Thank you for the video!
I got a picture embedded in my head which I wont forget everrr. Thanks a bunch!
we finally have a spiritual successor to Mikhail's system design series.
Great video. Animations are well designed and the explanation is simple enough to understand. Looking forward to more videos to come
I love how simply you explain things. What do you use to make these animations? I wanna try doing something similar for people at work.
As I mentioned in another comment, I assume he used after affect for the well designed architecture animations.
Thanks for sharing ... Which software you have used for awesome ppt ?
Awesome explanation, you are doing a great job!
really like your newsletter, amazing videos. pls keep uploading 🥳
❤️Ohhh man, your content is so reach and clean, it's very easy to understand.
URL stands for Uniform (not Universal) Resource Locator.
Looking forward to the other videos.
Big fan of you. Request you to create a series on authentication authorization in detail
Liked the content. Please continue with system design related content.
Very well explained, love from India
Good video. Good to have some difficulty level label, how deep explanations are.
hey guys what software/equipment do you use to create videos? do you create them yourself? great quality!
Nice. This channel is going to be hit from day 1.
Very helpful.Waiting for more such great videos.
10K subscribers already , wow
Awesome content.
Awesome initiative! Keep it up 💪
great video. there's a typo at 4:45 it should be HTML instead of HTTP in step 6
Wow that’s a great video! I am excited about the roadmap of system design videos that are in there making. I enjoyed this video. I see there’s a lot of feedback already in here, so I’ll throw my two cents as well.
The strengths -
* Great topics
* Your voice is really good and pleasant to hear.
* The pace is good.
* Content and Animations are great
Constructive feedback-
* Please add some less known facts to some of the major concepts you cover. It requires a tad bit extra research but makes the viewers seek more fun facts.
* You could have gone deeper in the DNS cache. There were some areas where I felt that you assumed that the viewers already know somethings. Such as you could have shown a side bar animation for a IP to URL - DNS mapping.
* towards the end around HTTP handshakes, the animations almost stopped and the focus shifted on the speaker and it felt a little scripted (it didn’t feel like that in the beginning of the video)
I am looking forward to more great videos! Thanks for the creation of this content!
Awesome explanation - and I like the animations!
Thanks and looking forward to more videos 💙
Nice and clear video, this is a great idea to explain specific concepts in an animated way, every developer no matter his skills would understand it. Congratulations and keep this method for further videos!
Big fan this side from LinkedIn. You are doing a great job teaching us.
Great contribution to the community. Excellent tutorial
So great! So What is the name of video making software? Please!
