About this article
I Built a Visual System Design Reference — Switch Any Architecture Between AWS, Azure, GCP...
Like a lot of developers, I've spent hours reading system design articles, watching interview prep videos, and staring at static diagrams trying to understand how YouTube actually handles an upload or how Uber matches a rider to a driver in real time.
This started as a personal project to learn and grow. Building it forced me to actually understand each architecture well enough to draw it, break it into steps, and map every component across clouds. Somewhere along the way, I realised it could be just as useful for others preparing for interviews, designing real systems, or simply curious about how the apps they use every day work under the hood.
