1. [ByteByteGo](https://bytebytego.com?fpr=techinterviewhandbook) - This is a new System Design course by Alex Xu, author of the System Design Interview books, a bestseller on Amazon. The course covers system designs basics, then goes into deep dives of the design of over 10 famous common products (e.g. [Designing YouTube](https://bytebytego.com/courses/system-design-interview/design-youtube), Facebook Newsfeed, etc) and multiple big data and storage systems (e.g. [Designing a Chat System](https://bytebytego.com/courses/system-design-interview/design-a-chat-system)). For each deep dive, concepts are explained and comprehensive diagrams are used, making it very approachable for any seniority level.

It contains a repository of the popular system design problems along with a glossary of system design basics. I've personally completed this course and have recommended many others to use this. Highly recommended!

2. ["System Design Interview Course" by Exponent](https://www.tryexponent.com/courses/system-design-interview?ref=techinterviewhandbook) - This course covers system designs basics and has a huge database of popular system design questions with videos of mock interviews. Some of the questions have text answers and a database schema and APIs for reference (which I find helpful). While the subscription might be a little pricey for just the system design interviews content, they also offer quality technical content for [Data Structures](https://www.tryexponent.com/courses/swe-practice?ref=techinterviewhandbook), [Algorithms](https://www.tryexponent.com/courses/algorithms?ref=techinterviewhandbook) and [Behavioral Interviews](https://www.tryexponent.com/courses/behavioral?ref=techinterviewhandbook). The convenience of a one-stop platform which covers all aspects of technical interview preparation is very enticing.
