Hey Folks, I have a System Design Interview with Figma. Is there some fundamental material that I can start from?

    For system design fundamentals, I highly recommend this course: [Course] The Top Ways People Fail System Design Interviews

    I like this thread (and its connected links) as well: "How to get better at system design interviews?"

    For Figma in particular, get really familiar with real-time collaboration system. The big unlock with products like Figma and Notion is that they very smoothly support live-updating documents with lots of concurrent collaborators on them.

    My algorithm tpo prep for a company-specific interview:

    1. Ask the recruiter
    2. Ask friends who have recently interviewed there (or work there now)
    3. Look at Glassdoor/Google for questions that the company asks
    4. Think through what makes Figma unique and focus on system design questions in that area
Figma is a collaborative web application for interface design, with additional offline features enabled by desktop applications for macOS and Windows. The feature set of Figma focuses on user interface and user experience design, with an emphasis on real-time collaboration, utilising a variety of vector graphics editor and prototyping tools.
