Here are some of the videos that will give you a peek into my teaching style how I teach and the depth I go into
I am a software engineer passionate about System Architecture, Language Internals, Distributed Datastores, and Advanced Algorithms. In 2024, I took the leap of faith and co-founded Profile.fyi, where I am operating as the CTO taking care of all things tech.
Before co-founding Profile.fyi, I was a Staff Engineer at Google leading the Dataproc India team in providing managed big data ecosystem to GCP customers. I hold 10+ years of experience in building and scaling backend services across domains and companies like Unacademy, Amazon, Practo, and D. E. Shaw.
Post my masters in CSE from IIIT Hyderabad I joined D. E. Shaw for a short stint of 2 months, before moving to Practo and working there as a Platform Engineer, building and owning close to 8 different microservices. Post Practo I worked at Amazon on their primary mission-critical internal E-Commerce Database and built Data Pipelines that cold tiered the stale data.
After quitting Amazon in 2018, I joined Unacademy as their first Technical Architect and there I designed, built, managed, and scaled services like Data Lake, Search, Notification, Logging, Deployment Engine, and many more. I then transitioned into the leadership role and operated as a Director of Engineering and led the Site Reliability and Data Engineering verticals.
I keep diving deep into engineering details and share my learnings by across my socials and videos on YouTube. To put my learning to practice, I keep building things on the side and a few of my good hobby projects include
From the reviews and feedbacks I gathered, here are a few key things that worked for folks who took this course.

Some testimonials from the people who recently took this course.
Before I joined the cohort, my mood was low to put it mildly. But just the first week was enough to lift my spirits. Looking back, I couldn’t have picked a better time to join. This course helped me shake off the fear of coding the unknown. Now, I look forward to these extremely engaging and intense sessions every week.
Arpit has an amazing knack for breaking down big, complex systems into concrete, repeatable patterns. His years of dedication and extreme passion towards designing scalable distributed systems really show. For me, the best part and USP of the course is Arpit’s unique ability to break down and demonstrate how the core fundamental patterns that drive the most complex systems can be built in just a few hours to a couple of days, all with minimal setup or infrastructure. This practical, hands-on approach made the concepts highly relatable and achievable, significantly boosting my confidence and enthusiasm.
The cohort felt super relatable and had a very high engagement because the focus was on designing practical, real-world systems with a strong bias towards user and business empathy. Most of us connected with the real-world constraints and had our own backstories to share. Arpit managed to bring together highly motivated people with top-notch expertise, sparking intense and high-quality discussions.
As we near the end of the cohort, I feel highly motivated to further my expertise in the area of distributed and scalable systems. For me, this course rates right at the top. It’s at least a 100X return on your investment of money and time.
What a delight it from Arpit who shared his practical experience and discussed in detail pros and cons of each approach via building intuition. Such a relevant stuff it was and there was definitely no fluff in it.
I feel more confident than ever in taking part in discussions related to system design, I think of all cases, cost, engineering complexity, user experience while implementing solution.
Best part is years of experience is condensed and shared by Arpit, how he handled things, most common things we should consider and what not.
If someone wants to take deep dive into designing systems from intermediate to professional, this is the best investment you got to make. Arpit helps by building intuition on how to solve common to complex product problem using engineering. It is not about just using fancy terms like distributed, cloud and whatnot but rather understanding on hardware level how it will impact not just engineering but business revenue.
Again, amazing course love the sessions, content, how it was represented, practical experience in implementing stuff and long AMA at the end brought so many interesting insights from everyone.
I would highly recommend taking this course, it is not only fun and engaging but it changes your way of thinking and approaching a new system by looking at the tradeoffs, crunching the numbers and putting yourself in your users' shoes.
In my timezone the course would start at 6:30 am and each morning i would wake-up with peak excitement because i would know i will be part in a bunch of interesting design discussions and debates.
Arpit's passion and excitement is contagious, after the sessions with him i would rediscover the joy of coding for fun again, he makes every complicated topic seem so easy that you think to yourself: "hmm would never have thought i would have the competence and confidence to implement an LFU strategy on O(1) time or a load balancer, yet after the session with Arpit i feel motivated to give it a try"
Arpit, you are an exceptional teacher. The way you have fostered our intuition over these 8 weeks is truly commendable. I've learned to recognize patterns, and as you often say, it's just copy-paste from there!
Being part of this cohort has been such a fun experience, and I found myself eagerly looking forward to the weekends because of it. The effort you have put into building this course is evident in the quality of the content we've discussed.
Not only have you helped me develop intuition, but you've also ignited a curiosity in me to explore further. Now, I read and research more before making any design decisions, and I find myself understanding technical papers more easily.
I can't thank you enough for your hard work and for always resolving our queries by the end of the day. Thank you so much for everything you do—your dedication is truly inspiring.
This year I completed the beginner course and rewatched the advanced lectures. I had stumbled upon your course by chance. The "No fluff" tag caught my attention, at a time when I was hungry for asli engineering discussions. I signed up and the course exceeded my expectations.
Thank you so much for putting such high quality content out there, for making it accurate and simple to grasp! Thank you for being encouraging, and for making the course discussion-based which made us think and not just consume! I have learnt a lot from your courses and videos - so much so that I have been getting appreciative comments on my knowledge, in system design discussions with peers. The content and your palpable passion in sharing it with the world reinstilled in me the inspiration, which had made me pursue computer science as a career in the first place - it reminded me of the joy in learning, understanding, and building systems with real world impact.
Thank you for all your efforts in teaching and inspiring! Hoping to keep in touch and continue learning from you. 🙂
I have done a couple of system design courses on Udemy and watched a bunch on YouTube as well, but none of them are even close to this.
What differentiates this course from the rest,
One can understand how much passion and depth Arpit goes in his YouTube videos as well
Previously, I had a fixed mindset regarding how I was going to tackle any system design question. Start with the functional and non-functional requirements, do some back-of-the-hand calculations to depict the scale of the system, start drawing boxes for application servers, load balancers, queues, and databases. While this approach works most of the time for cracking a few interview rounds, Arpit’s course forces you to ditch this conventional thought process and makes you dive deeper into systems and their actual implementations.
This course definitely is a goldmine not only in terms of the content but most importantly, how it sparks curiosity within you to think of system designs beyond just interviews.
A course is only as good as the instructor and Surprise!! Surprise!! Arpit is too good at the teaching part as well. You can sense the enthusiasm and curiosity in his way of teaching as well. He would patiently answer all the questions asked even though the class duration was well past 4 hours. He is open to new ideas and solutions and doesn’t make you feel any lesser even for a bit.
Any senior engineer looking to make an impact at their workplace or waiting for that engineering spark to be reignited again, this course is a must! Thank you for proving that true engineering is well beyond interviews. "SUPERB!"
This was the first one of the kind Cohort that I enrolled in. The way Arpit teaches is fabulous. I would say it is not even a teaching but feels more like an actual discussion that would go into an engineer's day-to-day life. He carries total empathy for a learner. The depth and details he carries in everything he says are fantastic. All the doubts and discussions will have an answer from Arpit. Folks tuning in to every cohort have the brightest minds, and the way discussion happens in cohort with Arpit along with such minds, is just a treat to experience.
What I loved the most was brainstorming sessions. It's never a monologue from Arpit. Sometimes we start to build and would never ever feel that we might be building something so big in just one half of the cohort's session, that too with proper brainstorming from people. The way he helps people to start dissecting the problem; feels like he is just showing the light, others are building the system unknowingly, and feels amazing after we see the output. The way he sparks the decision-making processes helps to build the right intuition, goes deep into the details, and picks every bit and piece of the system is just fantastic. It makes the session the most engaging.
You will get the hands-on experience of picking the simplicity of the system, importance of knowing the basics and other concepts in engineering, and dealing with the tradeoffs of every technology, and mostly the intuition-building
If I have to point out the learnings, they are something like this; and I believe most of the other people in the cohort would agree with me on this;
This is not an ordinary system design cohort, you will ACTUALLY build systems that scale; for millions of users. And no joy is more than seeing it work.
Arpit is undoubtedly one of the best engineers I've seen in my life. Started following his content on youtube quite a few months back and really liked the way he dives deep on interesting core topics. That brought me to his System Design Masterclass course. The initial Indian mindset made me contemplate on the price of the course but boy oh boy! I'm not regretting even a single bit for what the course was priced at! :)
This is a goldmine of content and as I say, if not all, most who have taken the course would agree that Arpit has truly sparked the engineering curiosity. He offers incredible value in what he teaches. Not exaggerating but I've had "wow" moments in every single class.
Arpit's credentials in engineering is as good as it comes. He is a seasoned pro and it shows in every session, the love and passion for engineering and his craft. With just 3 years of experience, when I entered the course, I was blown away in the first week itself. A serious eye opener for me into building systems for scale.
Arpit has curated the syllabus very beautifully and paces it really well. I'd really suggest to take the interactive live cohort rather than buying the compiled course cause live sessions are just something else! Its truly interactive. Almost every system is built by brainstorming with the folks in the cohort and Arpit helps converge to the right intuition and idea going step by step from scratch, questioning every decision made from the problem statement, design and implementation perspectives in depth. In short by the end of each system design you have the entire design laid out to you in which you understand the purpose of every component used, what it solves for and why this and not anything else, cause you were part of a lengthy discussion that arrived to it. Truly awesome stuff!
Its not only theory or surface level, he emphasizes so much on building prototypes for the concepts and systems we build in the cohort and he does a code walkthrough and explains his prototypes to show that its not hard to build prototypes. This also solidifies your understanding in the concept better as you often uncover interesting challenges when implementing. You also get access to a community and many great folks in the cohort. I felt like the dumbest person in the cohort and absolutely loved that cause there was so much to learn every time.
His patience and love for the work he does is so admirable and inspiring. Once the session is done he is open to taking and answering questions for however long it takes. Does not shy away or asks to stop asking questions after each session. I've seen this QnA sessions go for so long and he doesn't even flinch or calls quits. Massive respect for this Arpit!
Overall one of the best investments I've made in myself for my career.
I thank Arpit for this brilliant cohort and would 100% recommend it to anyone who has some experience in the field and looking to scale up to be senior engineer wanting to build systems the right way.
Don't miss out folks!
"The Best Real World System Design" course in market right now.
Arpit touches upon some really interesting areas in system design. He doesn't just draw the boxes, he really focuses on the implementation details of the system. For example,
He explained and "actually discussed" so many different designs in a period of 2 months. Hats off man.
He actually focuses a lot on building your intuition. I would Highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for building the intuition and not just the theory.
Arpit is a great guide, his passion for learning and making others learn as well is remarkable. I had been following his YouTube videos for long and the way he approached and explained problems motivated me to take this course.
For sure, it's been one of the best decisions. Few principles that he emphasizes on have been key take aways for me [other than building the intuition around taking technical design decisions of course].
1.Simple systems scale best -never over complicate 2. Database is the most brittle component of your system, design it cautiously 3. While designing you always gain some you lose some, you need to decide the best tradeoff for your system. 4. There are always multiple ways of doing things, whenever you think of reactive approach think of proactive as well and vice versa, some scenarios might be best fit in completely contrasting scenarios of your previous design decision. 5. Be self-critic of your design and question every design decision taken to converge to best design.
Somehow, we might be knowing these but how beautifully applying them affected our decisions at every step just ingrained it further.
Before taking this course i went through some comments and feedback for this course out of which 90% were positive however there was one of the comments which stated him as "self-proclaimed industry expert" -to this one i would say he definitely is an expert in what he is teaching and that can be acclaimed by anyone taking this course.
So, I would highly recommend this cohort for anyone who wants to understand how real-world systems work and actively participate in the discussions. Other than live cohort the recorded learning course will be equally helpful for people who want to absorb the concepts at their own pace.
I would highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to build the skills to approach designing systems from first principles. Lastly, I would like to say that Arpit absolutely loves engineering and puts in great effort to make the course an awesome experience for everyone involved.
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Arpit System Design Cohort. Participating in this program has been a transformative journey that has enriched my understanding of system design concepts and elevated my skills as a software engineer.
From the very beginning, Arpit's passion for system design and his expertise in the field were evident. His well-structured curriculum and engaging teaching style made complex topics seem approachable and understandable. Arpit's ability to break down intricate design principles into digestible chunks ensured that I never felt overwhelmed.
One of the standout features of this cohort was the emphasis on hands-on learning. Through numerous real-world case studies and practical exercises, I had the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge to actual system design scenarios. This experiential learning aspect truly solidified my understanding of the concepts and boosted my confidence in tackling real-world design challenges.
I cannot recommend this Cohort enough for anyone looking to enhance their system design skills. Whether you are a seasoned software engineer or just starting your journey, this program will undoubtedly take your design abilities to new heights. Thank you, Arpit, for your dedication and expertise in guiding us through this enriching experience!
All aspiring programmers who crave to build scalable, lasting distributed systems should attend this program. Arpit always nudges us to be hands-on writing code during the course. He helped in inculcating the process of breaking the problem to minutest bit which make us focus on the crux ignoring the surrounding fluff and go and solve for it. The breadth of coverage is quite comprehensive from CDNs, to storage systems, to caching, to databases, to networking the entire gamut of technology spectrum is given a time slice in the course.
Personally for me this course changed the outlook & perspective of how I view systems and problems. I used to be overwhelmed while dealing with complex microservices. Now I feel this course hast helped me to build a muscle of intuition on how systems are built. This hunch/intuition is driving me now to simplifying solutions, instead of adding boxes to the system, I am striving to build systems which are simple and intuitive.
Kudos Arpit, you are a rockstar & inspirational.
The best course for system design to elevate your engineering career.
I have previously tried many resources for getting better at designing systems at scale. But all of them were more focussed on interview, ending up as drawing some black boxes without understanding them.
This course helps building the intuition on what are the possibilities at every stage in designing the system and how to make a tradeoff between them. Definitely, I recommend people to take up the course.
Thank you Arpit, you are simply amazing. Will definitely be among the best teachers in my life that shaped my learning.
Before attending this course, my interest towards learnings B Trees or Graphs is less interesting and boring. Once Arpit has explained about DB internals in one of our cohort design discussion's and how these data structures are being used and why in a certain way, my curiosity has increased a lot.
Now I am interested towards learnings every internals of systems like e.g Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Bit-cask, Redis and how the data is being stored & what trade offs have been taken and especially what are they compromising on in order to achieve consistency, reliability or durability.
This cohort from Arpit is worth every penny spent and is just a beginning for me/everyone in order to become better engineer. I would recommend every engineer to take part of this course and be a 10x Engineer. Thank you Arpit a lot, kudos to you for the hard work on creating of the course content and patiently clearing every engineer doubts.
Arpit's system design course stands out as one of the best available options. He places a strong emphasis on constructing systems while taking into account intricate low-level implementation details. Throughout the span of 8 weeks, we engaged in discussions about numerous systems and participated in a multitude of brainstorming and question-answer sessions within a closely-knit cohort. I will always cherish the following key takeaways from the course:
The last time I maintained such unwavering focus during four-hour-long sessions was back in my days of preparing for the JEE. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone seeking to gain expertise in designing real-world systems.
I recently completed the System Design Masterclass, and it surpassed all my expectations. Arpit's approach transcends traditional box-drawing exercises, delving deep into the intricate implementation details that distinguish this course.
A standout feature is Arpit's emphasis on practicality. Rather than presenting abstract concepts, he guides you through choosing the right queries for system development and optimising them step-by-step based on specific requirements. The course fearlessly addresses tradeoffs, offering valuable insights for informed decision-making.
In just two months, Arpit covered an impressive array of diverse designs, fostering a profound understanding of system design principles. His dedication to facilitating genuine discussions, not just surface-level explanations, is truly commendable.
I had the pleasure of enrolling in Arpit Bhayani's System Design Masterclass course, and it was truly an awe-inspiring experience! Arpit's teaching style is beyond compare; he effortlessly breaks down complex topics into small, easily understandable units, making the learning process enjoyable and effective. The systems discussed in the course were pragmatic and immediately applicable to real-world projects. I found myself confidently applying the knowledge gained in my work projects.
Every penny invested in this course was worth it and more. What sets Arpit apart is his exceptional dedication to his students. He goes above and beyond by spending a significant amount of additional time post-session to answer every single question with great detail and patience. On several occasions, the Q&A sessions extended for an impressive 2.5 hours beyond the regular 2-hour session, ensuring that all questions were answered.
I cannot recommend this course highly enough to anyone looking to enhance their system design skills. It's an invaluable resource led by an outstanding instructor, and I'm grateful for the knowledge and support I received throughout the course.
A big thank you, Arpit, for this fantastic learning journey!
Two words - Absolutely fantastic! This systems design course has been nothing short of a revelation. It delves deep into intricate system design engineering concepts, offering a comprehensive understanding that encourages critical thinking while discouraging broad generalizations. The course does so, while discussing the business implications for each decision that is taken, which you don't get to learn anywhere else.
I was an avid viewer of Arpit's YouTube channel from long before I took this course and his website has a ton of resources if someone actually takes the time to go through those topics. The beauty of the course is that once the system is designed, Arpit makes sure to specify how can a similar system be implemented locally (where ever feasible). I have no doubt that I'll continue to refer back to the meticulously prepared class notes and insightful recordings in the future. I have nothing but admiration for this course and I am definitely excited to take his Redis internals course sometime in the future!
Enrolling in this course has been a game-changer, and I can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Arpit!
Arpit has truly poured his soul into this course.
Beyond the technical knowledge, I admire him for his passion for technology. Not only does he possess excellent technical acumen, but he also excels in articulating and demystifying complex technical concepts.
Decoding intricate systems and making them easy to comprehend is his forte. I also appreciated the structure and delivery of the content; the three-hour-long sessions never felt monotonous or repetitive.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone eager to learn how complex systems work.
I have personally learned a lot of concepts and gained a great deal of confidence in approaching challenging technical decisions. The terms and concepts that were once unfamiliar to me before the course are now very clear.
My intuition and curiosity have been ignited, and a solid foundation has been laid to understand and build complex systems without unnecessary complications.
The best tech investment that I have ever done by enrolling in this course. Excellent learning through the live interactive classes and cohort mates. 1000% recommended for all software engineers!
I was super impressed with the concurrency part of the lectures having pessimistic locking with select queries extending it to various booking systems -> task scheduler -> MessageBroker, scaling web sockets for millions, design of loader balancer and S3 storage.
I am much more confident now with the strong intuition and right way to design any system. I am able to recognise the patterns in the system design :)
You can always drop me an email at arpit.masterclass@gmail.com for other questions.
