System design interview practice (mock interview style)

Practice System Design Interviews with Structured Feedback

Design a real-world system step by step. Then get structured feedback that shows what you did well, what you missed, and what to do next.

After you click: pick a problem → design through requirements, APIs, scale, and trade-offs → get a structured review (strengths, gaps, next steps).

How it works

A realistic system design interview loop: design, explain trade-offs, and get interviewer-style feedback.

1

Pick a real interview problem

Choose from 50+ problems (e.g., WhatsApp, Twitter, Uber) and start immediately.

2

Design step by step with guidance

Work through requirements, APIs, scale, HLD, NFRs, and trade-offs.

3

Get a structured review

See strengths, gaps, red flags, and concrete next actions—organized like an interview rubric.

What you get

What you get after each session

A concrete output you can use to improve the next attempt—without guessing what “good” looks like.

A rubric-based summary of strengths and gaps by stage

Red flags an interviewer would notice (and how to fix them)

Specific next actions (what to add, remove, or clarify)

A clearer checklist for what to say out loud in interviews

Design Thinking for System Design — Practice the Right Way

1

Pick a real-world problem

Choose from problems like URL Shortener, Messaging System, or Feed Design. Our AI guides you through each one.

2

Design step by step with AI guidance

Our AI asks clarifying questions and helps you reason through requirements, scale, data, APIs, and trade-offs in real-time.

3

Get AI-powered structured feedback

Our AI analyzes your design and provides actionable feedback on: Gaps in reasoning, missing constraints, interviewer red flags, senior-level signals. No generic scores—only actionable insights.

Traditional System Design Prep vs Practice on InterviewCrafted

Most prep is read-only. Here’s how practicing on a canvas with AI feedback is different.

CompareTraditional learningInterviewCrafted
How you practiceRead articles, watch videos — mostly passive, no hands-on design.Interactive canvas: draw components, connect services, reason in real time.
FeedbackNone or delayed; no interviewer-style input on your design.AI interviewer feedback at each stage — gaps, constraints, senior-level signals.
Interview simulationNo structured flow; hard to rehearse the real interview loop.Stage-by-stage flow: problem → requirements → design → tradeoffs → improve.
Where you buildWhiteboard or paper only; no shared, reusable artifact.Visual architecture canvas with components (DB, cache, API, etc.).
OutcomeConcepts only; little repetition of the actual practice loop.Real practice loop: design → get feedback → improve — like a real interview.
