System Design Scenarios are practical, often open-ended exercises that challenge architects to apply principles to real-world or hypothetical situations. They simulate high-stakes decision-making, enabling architects to evaluate trade-offs, innovate, and optimize designs.

high-scale, cutting-edge scenarios pushing limits of performance, reliability, and scalability.

complex, multi-component systems requiring deeper architecture thinking.

practical, moderately challenging problems with real-world context.

approachable, beginner-friendly scenarios and concepts.
