How to Scale an Application? | System Design

Building an application that is just going to be used by a 100 users is different from an application that is going to be used by 100k users. In this lesson, we learn about the basics of System Design and we learn how to build scalable applications. We take an example of a hypothetical application that won't scale and gradually scale it to support high traffic while learning all the intricacies along the way.
