System design is an essential skill for building scalable, maintainable, and performant software systems. It involves defining the architecture, components, and interactions within a system, ensuring that it meets both functional and non-functional requirements. One popular approach to building scalable applications is using microservices architecture.

Below is a high-level roadmap for developing expertise in system design. It provides a step-by-step guide—from core technical fundamentals and distributed systems knowledge to hands-on design practice and continuous improvement. This roadmap is useful both for tackling system design interviews and building complex, scalable real-world systems.
