Distributed Cache Design
This chapter deals with an important topic, which is the design of a distributed cache or, in other words, a distributed in-memory key-value store. A distributed cache is an extension of the traditional concept of cache used in a single computer. A distributed cache usually spans multiple computers.

Netflix Design
Netflix is an online video streaming service that offers online streaming of a library of movies and TV shows. The actual design of Netflix would be way complex than what we are going to discuss in this chapter. Here we will try to design the Netflix service based on the requirements discussed below.
File Sharing Service - Dropbox Design
Dropbox is a cloud file storage service. It enables users to share the files across their devices and also with remote storage servers. It does that by allowing the users to create special folders on each of their computers or mobile devices, which the service then synchronizes so that it appears to be the same folder regardless of which device is used to view it. Files placed in this folder are typically accessible through a website and mobile/desktop apps. The files can also be easily shared with other users for viewing or collaboration.
Distributed Message Queue System Design
This chapter deals with a very important topic which is the design of a distributed message queue system. Distributed Message Queue is also called Distributed Message Broker. A distributed message queue is a message-oriented middleware that supports sending and receiving messages between distributed applications, services, or systems.
Stripe Payment Gateway System Design
This chapter discusses the design of another significant distributed service that is used almost everywhere where money is involved. If you have read our previous chapters, we identified a component named billing service, but we didn't go into the detailed design of the billing service. This we are going to cover in this chapter. We will cover three different aspects of this billing service as follows:
- Storing customers' payment information (e.g., credit card, or other similar payment information)
- The payment processing to charge a customer
- For a generic payment gateway service, how the money is transferred from a customer to a merchant in a secure and reliable manner
