Final Remarks

Congratulations, you’ve successfully finished the module “System Design Essentials.”

Summary#

Starting with abstractions in general, we learned about the importance of abstraction, network abstractions and remote procedural calls, and the spectrum of consistency and failure models. We also learned about non-functional system characteristics and back-of-the-envelope calculations.

What’s next?#

It’s time to learn about the building blocks of modern systems, each component of which is a completely scalable application in itself.
