Narrado por: Benjamin Holmes

It is a fact that you'll be bombarded with system design interview questions which have become part and parcel of all the software engineering hiring processes.

Your performance in these interviews will reflect upon your capability to work with complex systems and translate into the role and position that the interviewing organization is interviewing you for.

This audiobook is a comprehensive guide to master all the concepts about SDIs.

Worst narration I’ve heard in audible.

The narration on this audiobook sounds like a robot that doesn’t know when to breathe.

Not in depth, more so an overview

Useful info regarding:
scaling horizontal vs vertica,l
distributed systems designs,
availability consistency tolerance,
sharding,
caching,
hashing,
client server / slave master model

Once again this was a very brief overview. Not in depth does leave out info such as security, monitoring, etc.

The narration is so terrible it obscures content.

How can this narration be considered acceptable? The narrator sounds like a machine, with gaspy, unnatural pauses before key terms. His speed is uneven and chaotic, and his monotone voice is unbearably slow. Buy the text version and listen to it using Google Books Read Aloud feature, it will sound more human.

horrible narration.

such a sure way to ruin an overall ok book. what were the authors optimizing for?

Helpful Book!!!

Awesome book, Short and precise for quick learning.

Pros, precise, good for quick learning.
Cons, some terminology related to hash encryption needs some background

Have heard worse

The narration sounds like a high quality robot, but the pauses are in the wrong place. Also the narration makes references to thing that can be seen. As far as the actual content, it gets to very specific implementation details rather than focusing on the concepts.

Auto generated voice. A complete waste of money.

Auto generated voice. A complete waste of money. Please do not buy it. Even by mistake.

Well-organized.

Well-written. Well-organized. It covers almost every detail of creating a distributed system and problems one could face. And it will give you good ideas to apply to your own systems. You will build up knowledge from the basics to most advanced techniques.

terrible narrator. Awful text to speech

Have no idea if the story was good listening to the robot was too bad.

Voice speaker pauses after many words

The voice speaker pauses after the first word of every sentence and key words are mispronounced. The content isn't well explained.
