We attempt to design a large-scale distributed video hosting platform like TikTok or Instagram Reels.

The engineering involved in building these systems is complex, and our attempt does not (even nearly) cover all the challenges that these engineering teams face. We instead have a mock system design interview setup. Yogita will have 45 minutes to design an architecture that can scale, is performant, fault-tolerant, and meets the functional requirements.
