FAQ

– What do I need to know to join the course?

Basic knowledge of Java will suffice. Knowing the fundamentals of Multithreading and Concurrency may help but is not required.

– Will this course help me in System Design Interviews?

Yes. Distributed Systems questions are frequently asked during System Design Interviews, especially by large companies that operate on a massive scale. The skills you will learn in this course will help you in your career both while interviewing and working on real projects

– Do I need to pay for any software or Cloud account?

No. All the technologies covered in the course are free and open-source. The lectures on the cloud don’t require you to pay for anything. If you want to follow along, all cloud vendors provide free-tier accounts to play around with and practice for free. Please follow the specific cloud vendor’s documentation for guidance.

– Can I run and develop a Distributed System locally on my personal computer?

Yes. You can develop and run a distributed system on your computer and you don’t need to buy any additional hardware. Generally, most distributed computing development is done on a single computer before it goes to QA and production.

– Is this the right course for me if I want to become a Software Architect or Technical Lead?

Yes. This is the right place for you to gain practical Software Architecture and Distributed Computing skills to become a Software Architect and Technical Lead. Thanks to the advancement of Cloud Computing, most companies today run distributed systems and deploy them on the cloud. So the skills taught in this course are critical to being a successful Software Architect in the modern era.
