To excel in a system design interview at Amazon/AWS, LinkedIn or any other company, consider the following best practices:
Understand the problem requirements and constraints.
Break down the system into components while considering scalability, fault tolerance, and data management.
Consider tradeoffs and justify design decisions based on system needs.
Study distributed systems, databases, caching, and networking concepts.
Prioritize non-functional requirements like performance, latency, and durability.
These best practices will help prepare for any system design interview question that comes up.
