Wrapping Up the Building Blocks Discussion

The next case studies combine the building blocks into complete service designs. They use familiar products to establish requirements; their proposed architectures should not be read as undocumented accounts of those companies’ production systems.

The previous sections introduced the core building blocks used in distributed system design. The next sections apply these concepts to concrete system design case studies. The following discussions build on these components and assume familiarity with their design and trade-offs.

What’s next?

We will study the following systems:
