Looking to extend your skills and explore the options to become a Staff Engineer? Join us in reading this guide by Tanya Reilly. 

This first catch-up will introduce the book and what we can expect. Feel free to start reading the introduction and first chapter. 

A key-value store, also referred to as a key-value database, is a non-relational database. Each unique identifier is stored as a key with its associated value. This data pairing is known as a “key-value” pair. 

In this session, we will cover how to design this system for scale. 

Come join us for our first-ever Lightning Talk in the Engineering Book Club. In this session, I will share my learnings and motivations from the eleven books that I have read this year. 

To achieve horizontal scaling, it is important to distribute requests/data efficiently and evenly across servers. Consistent hashing is a commonly used technique to achieve this goal. 

Join us to discuss how to design this system from scratch. 

In this meetup, we will cover Chapter 4 from the System Design Interviews and discuss the RateLimitter exercise. This is a really popular exercise in big companies, so it's a good starting point for warming up for what's coming next.

Hey there! Join us for an informal coffee chat. 

We will cover the first three chapters and discuss what we expect from this book.

As a final event for Understanding Distributed System, we will host a fireside chat with Roberto Vitillo. We will discuss the motivations for writing the book and the process, but we will also have time for questions and final thoughts. 

Hey folks! Happy New Year! 

We are back after the Christmas break! Let's join together in a coffee chat to talk about books, new year challenges and goals, and much more... 

This is going to be an open event, so I will send it to our newsletter subscribers as well.

This is the first catch-up organized for this book. We will discuss the first three chapters.

In this chapter, we will discuss Failure detection, a crucial part of any distributed system. 

John is the author of the book and a professor of Computer Science at Stanford University.

It will be an informal chat to discuss about the book, so feel free to have prepared some questions or feedback. 

Let's read until Chapter 15, so we finish "Part 2" of the book that talks about collaboration.
