Reviews
Frontend System Design interviews are part of senior frontend and full-stack developers’ interviews to assess a candidate’s proficiency in designing large-scale frontend systems. This course shows you how to design real-world frontend systems like chat apps, newsfeeds, and streaming platforms.
You’ll start with the basics—core concepts, optimization techniques, design patterns, and state management. Then, you’ll learn about architectural approaches like component-driven design and micro frontends and how to connect frontend systems to backends using efficient APIs for better performance and communication. A major part of the course is the REDCAAP framework, which offers a clear, step-by-step method for frontend system design.
After completing the course, you’ll be ready to build well-structured, high-performance frontend systems and confidently tackle frontend System Design interviews.
