About System Overflow
Building better engineers through deep understanding
Our Mission
System Overflow teaches you to master system design through deep understanding, not template memorization. Learn the fundamental concepts and trade-offs that let you confidently tackle any design problem.
We help you understand when to apply each pattern, what failure modes to watch for, and how to make engineering decisions that scale—the skills that matter in real interviews and production systems.
Who We Are
System Overflow is built by a team of software engineers who have been through the interview gauntlet at top tech companies. We've conducted hundreds of interviews, reviewed thousands of candidates, and experienced firsthand what separates strong candidates from those who just memorized answers.
