One pro tip for acing a system design interview is to read the engineering blog of the company you are interviewing with. You can get a good sense of what technology they use, why the technology was chosen over others, and learn what issues are important to engineers.Ā 

For example, here are 4 blog posts Twitter Engineering recommends:

1. The Infrastructure Behind Twitter: Scale

2. Discovery and Consumption of Analytics Data at Twitter

3. The what and why of product experimentation at Twitter

4. Twitter experimentation: technical overview
