This is a fantastic guide for anyone starting with system design! I like how you explain the key ideas—performance, scalability, reliability, and more—in a way that’s easy to follow.
The restaurant analogy makes it so clear. A chef keeping the kitchen running smoothly is just like designing a system that doesn’t break under pressure. I think beginners could also try building something small, like a to-do app with a database and caching, to see these ideas in action.
Your step-by-step approach really takes away the fear of starting something big like this. Thanks for sharing such a helpful roadmap—can’t wait to dig deeper into these topics!
I love the restaurant analogy! It makes complex system design concepts much more relatable. One thing I'd add is how queueing systems (like Kafka or RabbitMQ) could be compared to restaurant waitlists—managing orders efficiently and preventing overload. What do you think?

Secret is this analogy idea came to me when I was sitting at a restaurant.
Thank you for suggesting- message queue. I will update the blog
