Hey #tribe I have a system design interview today. I was seeing youtube videos (Gaurav Sen, etc) for what to expect and I think discussion will go fine. But I just noticed in the email that I will be expected to draw "architectural diagram". I have no idea what kind of architecture diagram is expected in system design interview. Does anyone have any resources or examples?

could range from anything between: • data flow across services • user interaction to your system • cross service integration • etc.

Are you confused about the nomenclature? The diagrams Gaurav Sen, etc uses to describe system design is also called architecture diagram. If you saw any videos, you must have come across a few at least

Are you confused about the nomenclature?

Maybe yes. I never thought Gaurav is making "architectural diagram", he is just making a whatever visual representation specific to that problem (?).

it'd be dependent on where the conversation flows during interview. if you're discussing for eg. micro-services, the diagram could relate to that, if its for data engg. it'd be related to data pieplines and so on

So I should be fine with just a visual representation of what I am trying to explain? Or at least it would be acceptable?

That's architectural diagram 😄

> he is just making a whatever visual representation specific to that problem

I guess then I'll be fine. 😅 😄 Thank you so much Shailendra and hjpotter92.
