Visualization

The question map

Each line is a question family. Each station is one prompt. Filter the set, search by topic, or click any station to inspect the design pressure and open the source solution.

Coverage

Pressure lines across the whole set

These are the recurring design muscles the pack keeps revisiting. Use this to decide whether you want to practice around consistency, streaming, fanout, safety, or edge reliability.

Matrix

Question-to-pattern coverage

The matrix below shows which cross-cutting system design patterns appear in which prompts. Click a column header or any active cell to jump to that question.

How to use this page

  1. Scan the tracks to see the broad families.
  2. Open a station and read the “core pressure” line first.
  3. Use the coverage matrix when you want to drill one repeated theme across multiple prompts.
  4. Jump into the markdown file when you want the full interview-ready solution.
