26. Architecting the Modern Web | Complete Explanation

Описание: Why are Web Concepts the backbone of System Design?

Most engineers jump into advanced system design topics like sharding, caching, or microservices without understanding the core web infrastructure that powers every distributed system.

In this video, we break down why Web Concepts like HTTP, DNS, CDN, Load Balancers, TLS, and APIs are non-negotiable for designing scalable, secure, and high-performance systems.

This is a foundational System Design video focused on the WHY and HOW, not memorization.

📌 What you’ll learn in this video:

Why HTTP/HTTPS is the universal language of distributed systems

How DNS and Load Balancers help systems scale globally

How caching, CDNs, and compression improve performance

How SSL/TLS impacts security and latency

REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC — when to use what

How web knowledge helps in debugging and monitoring

Why web concepts are critical for system design interviews

🌐 Web Concepts Covered:

HTTP / HTTPS

TCP Handshake

DNS & GeoDNS

Load Balancers

Reverse Proxies (Nginx)

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Caching & Headers

SSL / TLS

REST, GraphQL, gRPC

Cookies, Sessions, JWT

Status Codes & Observability

👨‍💻 Who should watch this?

Backend Developers

Software Engineers

System Design Interview Candidates

Full-Stack Developers

Engineering Students

Tech Leads & Architects

🚀 Key takeaway:

If you don’t understand how the web works, you can’t design systems that scale.

This video builds the mental foundation required to crack real-world system design problems and interviews.
