Hey, I wasn't looking for interview materials but in general I wanted to learn about system design, and I bumped into 'Grokking the System Design Interview' on designgurus.io - it also walks you through popular apps like Instagram, Twitter, etc.👌

The famous "grokking the system design interview course" on http://designgurus.io is amazing. I used this for my MSFT interviews and I was told I nailed it.

My newest course recommendation for all of you is to check out Grokking the System Design Interview on designgurus.io. I'm working through it this month, and I'd highly recommend it.

The courses which have "grokking" before them, are exceptionally well put together! These courses magically condense 3 years of CS in short bite-size courses and lectures (I have tried Grokking System Design Interview, OODI, and Coding patterns). The Grokking courses are godsent, to be honest.
