A New Platform Brings LeetCode-Style Hands-On Practice to System Design Interview Preparation
By
@javinpaul
Summary
The article discusses the fragmented state of system design interview preparation compared to the unified, hands-on practice that LeetCode provides for Data Structures & Algorithms. It highlights that while many resources exist for system design (ByteByteGo, DesignGurus.io, Exponent, Educative, Udemy), none offer the interactive, LeetCode-like experience. The author claims to have found a platform that fills this gap, providing hands-on system design practice similar to what LeetCode offers for DSA, making it an exciting discovery for FAANG interview preparation.

· 3 pulledIf you're preparing for FAANG interviews, you already know that Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) and System Design are the two critical areas where you'll be tested rigorously.
While LeetCode has become the standard platform for DSA practice, system design preparation has always been fragmented — scattered across expensive courses, text-heavy articles, and YouTube videos with no hands-on practice.
there is nothing like LeetCode, where you can actually practice hands-on
