系统设计访谈-业内人事指南 《System Design Interview-An insider‘s guide》中文版
前言：
We are delighted that you have decided to join us in learning the system design interviews.
System design interview questions are the most difficult to tackle among all the technical
interviews. The questions require the interviewees to design an architecture for a software
system, which could be a news feed, Google search, chat system, etc. These questions are
intimidating, and there is no certain pattern to follow. The questions are usually very big
scoped and vague. The processes are open-ended and unclear without a standard or correct
answer.
我们很高兴你决定加入我们学习系统设计面试。系统设计面试问题是所有技术面试问题中最难解决的。这些问题要求面试者为软件设计一个架构系统，它可以是一个新闻，谷歌搜索，聊天系统等。这些问题是令人生畏，而且没有固定的模式可循。这些问题通常都非常棘手，并且范围大还模糊。这过程是开放式的，不明确的，没有一个标准或正确的的答案。
Companies widely adopt system design interviews because the communication and problemsolving skills tested in these interviews are similar to those required by a software engineer’s
daily work. An interviewee is evaluated based on how she analyzes a vague problem and how
she solves the problem step by step. The abilities tested also involve how she explains the
idea, discusses with others, and evaluates and optimizes the system. In English, using “she”
flows better than “he or she” or jumping between the two. To make reading easier, we use the
feminine pronoun throughout this book. No disrespect is intended for male engineers.
公司广泛采用系统设计进行面试，因为在这些面试中需要软件工程师日常工作包含测试沟通和解决问题的技能。对被采访者的评价是基于她如何分析一个模糊的问题以及如何她一步一步地解决了这个问题。能力测试还包括她如何解释构思，与他人讨论，评估和优化系统。在英语中，使用" she "流动比“他或她”或在两者之间跳来跳去更好。为了使阅读更易，我们使用贯穿全书的女性代词。我无意冒犯男性工程师。
The system design questions are open-ended. Just like in the real world, there are many
differences and variations in the system. The desired outcome is to come up with an
architecture to achieve system design goals. The discussions could go in different ways
depending on the interviewer. Some interviewers may choose high-level architecture to cover
all aspects; whereas some might choose one or more areas to focus on. Typically, system
requirements, constraints and bottlenecks should be well understood to shape the direction of
both the interviewer and interviewee.
系统设计问题是开放式的。就像在现实世界中一样，有很多系统中的差异和变化。期望的结果是想出一个架构实现系统设计目标。讨论可以以不同的方式进行这取决于面试官。一些采访者可能会选择高层架构来报道所有方面，然而有些人可能会选择一个或多个领域来关注。通常情况下,系统需求、限制和瓶颈应该被很好地理解来塑造方向面试官和被面试者。
