Why Choose This Course?
Unlock Your Career PotentialEngineers often find it challenging to advance in their careers or secure high-impact, rewarding jobs. This is usually because they focus primarily on the technical aspects of their roles. While technical skills are crucial, they are merely tools to achieve what engineers are truly paid for: solving business problems through technology.- Maximize Your ImpactEngineers at different levels contribute in varied ways, from handling single components to overseeing entire solutions. The greater your impact, the higher your position and compensation. Senior and Staff Engineers, who influence systems and entire solutions, must design efficient, business-aligned systems.
Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Business
Typical system design courses teach technical skills but often overlook the connection to business problems. This course fills that gap, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing business priorities with technical approaches. Learn to go beyond load balancing options and performance tactics by focusing on solving real business challenges.

Testimonials
- Software Engineer, OpSec SecurityThe Business Oriented System Design Course is created by a true expert in the field. It will help you build a solid foundation in System Design through lectures, interactive exercises, and homework.
It focuses not only on technical skills but also on linking them to solving real business problems. You will never be alone with your challenges; other students will be studying alongside you, and Vladimir will personally do his best to help you achieve your goals.
This course is a great investment that will significantly benefit your career in System Design. Highly recommended! - Software Engineer, BoltI am currently midway through a business oriented system design course that has been incredibly valuable so far. The course covers essential topics such as gathering and prioritizing business requirements, preparing a utility tree, and performing availability calculations for systems. We have also learned how to write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and create various diagrams, including context diagrams, container diagrams, and sequence diagrams. Additionally, we have explored advanced topics like sharding, rate limiting, and caching strategies.
One of the standout features of this course is the home tasks assigned after each class. These tasks have been instrumental in helping me consolidate and apply the concepts learned. The timely feedback from Vladimir on these assignments has been extremely helpful, and the opportunity to discuss different approaches and clarify doubts with him significantly enhances my understanding of the material.
Overall, the course has been comprehensive and practical, providing both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in system design. I am looking forward to the remaining sessions and confident that they will continue to build on this strong foundation
