A practical system design checklist for backend engineers who want a reusable framework for interviews, architecture reviews, service design docs, and distributed-systems self-study.
If this checklist helped you structure answers: the intended low-friction path is direct — tip if it saved you time; buy the review only if you want your own public repo / README / GitHub packaged better.
If system-design-checklist already saved you time during interview prep or architecture review, the shameless intended path is a direct thank-you tip on the support page.
