Frontend system design

Design a collaborative interview-preparation platform for teams.

Clarify

Users, scale, latency, consistency, offline behavior, accessibility, security, browser support, and success metrics.

Decompose

  • Route and rendering strategy
  • Component and design-system boundaries
  • Local, URL, server, and cached state
  • API contracts and runtime validation
  • Authentication and server authorization
  • Optimistic changes and conflict handling
  • Testing, observability, deployment, and rollback

Pressure tests

What happens with a slow device, partial API outage, stale tab, revoked access, malformed shared link, large topic set, failed deployment, or incompatible cached assets?

Conclude with current decisions, rejected alternatives, risks, and measurements that trigger redesign.
