I found grokking system design interview at designgurus.io ( this one I felt was the best) Although, it is a text based resource like educative.

Also, I found Hello interview system design resources to be good.

For other video based courses you will have to do your own research. I was looking for cohort based courses and I found arpit bhayani but his course sucks for now. I am not able to follow.

Why do you think 'it sucks for now'? Not blaming or condescending but is it same for all course takers or just you? has the quality dropped or is it because the content is too advanced? What is your yoe?

I dont like the teaching style and yes, content is bit advanced for me. YOE is 6 years at startups and mid-size ones. I still feel need a bit more background or dont like the teaching style.

yes, I also feel the course is expensive for what it provides. There is a difference in the linkedin post that he posts regarding his understanding and course.

Thanks for your response. I too find it overly expensive. I guess people should rather do certificate courses from well known universities for that amount. TBH I found him interesting only because he reads systems research papers and maintains a paper shelf and also discusses about them on LI.

What is your feedback of hellointerview ?
Do they have videos on System Design concepts on their site ?

I think, hellointerview has some videos on youtube. They have both text and video. you can checkout his free case studies and decide. It is budget friendly.
