Linux & System Design Commands
1. Monitor System Performance
top -d 1 htop vmstat 1
2. Network Analysis
netstat -tuln ss -tuln tcpdump -i eth0 -n
3. Load Testing
ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://example.com/ siege -c 100 -t 30s http://example.com
4. Database Performance
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT FROM users WHERE id = 1; pgbench -c 10 -j 2 -t 1000
5. Log Analysis
grep "ERROR" /var/log/syslog | tail -n 50 journalctl -u nginx --since "1 hour ago"
6. Container & Orchestration
docker stats kubectl top pods kubectl describe nodes
7. Cloud CLI (AWS, Azure, GCP)
aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics --namespace AWS/EC2 --metric-name CPUUtilization
az monitor metrics list --resource /subscriptions/{sub-id}/resourceGroups/{rg}
gcloud compute instances list --filter="status=RUNNING"
What Undercode Say:
System design is not just about architecture diagrams—it’s about understanding scalability, fault tolerance, and real-world trade-offs. These blogs provide battle-tested insights from top tech companies.
To master system design, practice:
- Load balancing (Nginx, HAProxy)
- Caching strategies (Redis, Memcached)
- Database sharding (PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
- Message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Distributed tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin)
Use these commands to simulate real-world scenarios and optimize your systems.
Expected Output:
A well-structured guide to engineering blogs with actionable Linux/IT commands for system design optimization.
