How to learn System Design as a recent graduate?

What is best system design course available? Could you please list top 3 in order with best as 1. Also mention what type of candidates are best suited for each course. I’m currently going through interview ready- Gaurav Sen. And find it hard to follow since I have almost never done system design. Hence I find it ok-ok , are there any better ones out there? I know grokking is one more. Please provide suggestions with course name and best suited for what professionals(eg , beginner with no exposure to system design , 5 yoe with some exposure to system design , advanced with high exposure system design)

Please suggest some good resources where system design is well explained from basics.

To all those folks who cracked system design round in various companies. Please specify the sources which you used to learn system design, free and paid both.

So we all know at this point that if somone wants to crack MAANG or any top tier product companies then learning system design is inevitable. And there are infinitely many resources to read and learn about it from an interview standpoint. Usually this would be like how would you design a product X and why specific tech stacks are chosen. What I would like to know is how people actually make such design decisions in these organizations. It would be great if it can be elaborated on the following points: - The processes involved from idea to implementation. - Who all are involved and the role or contributions made by each person from junior to senior engineers, PMs and researchers and any other people relevant. - What are the aspects considered when implementing and what all metrics taken into consideration especially if it is major thing that can effect their current operations. - Incase the implementation fails, then what happens (fallbacks, rectifications etc)? - How a specific technology is decided upon including cases where creating a custom solution is considered? Any incidents or real life situations that can be shared would be great but I can understand if specifics need to be left out due to NDA/ Anonymity.

Is it good to invest money in System Design course from Gaurav Sen? So much free good quality content already available on internet.

I am already working as a software developer and I want to become good at it. But where in the world should I begin the mastering of the development?. Is coding, data structures, system design, system architecture, Design patterns or should just go for best practices , there are other things in development the more i search the more I find different terms. I thought of starting by doing leet code but working almost the whole day then doing coding separately doesn't seem feasible so thought of figuring out doing something which I can integrate with my work.

I am preparing for interviews and never had any system design round before. Not sure how should I start preparing. I know there are lots of videos out there, but don't want to follow some random posts. Seen posts from bytebytego but they are most random posts . Rather looking for a way to learn systematically from scratch even though I might many of them. Looking for free resources

Which would be the best system design interview preparation course on YouTube or udemy,which has helped you in interviews? I saw interviewReady by gaurav sen. but I feel it's bit costly . Any other suggestions would be great .

Have more companies started asking system design to freshers? What topics to focus on? What should be a fresher approach, what to focus on: DSA/tech stack/system design

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas. I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline. My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?
