Concepts are explained in the articles of notable engineers and credible references. Case studies are taken from battle-tested systems those are serving millions to billions of users. #### If your Back-end went slow :traffic_light: -> Understand your problems: scalability problem (fast for a single user but slow under heavy load) or performance problem (slow for a single user) by reviewing some [design principles](#principles), then checking how [scalability](#scalability) and [performance](#performance) problems are solved in tech giants. You may want to check some [talks](#talks) of elite engineers to see how they build, scale, and optimize their systems. +> Understand your problems: scalability problem (fast for a single user but slow under heavy load) or performance problem (slow for a single user) by reviewing some [design principles](#principles), then checking how [scalability](#scalability) and [performance](#performance) problems are solved in tech giants. The section of [intelligence](#intelligence) are created for those who like big (data) and deep (learning) problems.
