Note: I have read this great book <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/hLN5N8v" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">System Design Interview — An insider’s guide by Alex Xu</a> in depth.

We will be focussing first on building a system that handles a single user and then gradually scaling it to serve millions of users. Though this article won't be in-depth but will give you all the concepts like a swiss multi-utility knife to further read in-depth and get a starting point for all your system design problems. Let’s first look at this single server setup which can serve a single user easily: <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*7umoBkxqCQ32tBv4DrnHbg.png" style="height:382px; width:700px" /> Image source <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/hLN5N8v" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">System Design Interview — An insider’s guide by Alex Xu</a> <h2>What do we have here?</h2> Web browser/Mobile app as a user, DNS, Web server and a few other things like domain name, IP address etc. <a href="https://medium.com/geekculture/system-design-scaling-from-zero-to-millions-of-users-deca270ef784">Visit Now</a>
