We Help Backend Engineers Crack Senior & Staff Interviews
BackendPrep is the practical interview platform built specifically for backend developers. We go beyond toy algorithmic puzzles to focus on what top tech companies actually test: distributed systems, database scaling, concurrency, and real-world production trade-offs.
Why Traditional Interview Prep Falls Short
Most coding websites teach you how to invert a binary tree. But when you sit in a 45-minute backend interview at Google, Uber, Amazon, or Stripe, interviewers don't ask you about textbook algorithms. They ask you about systems that must handle millions of requests without failing.
System Design & Scale
How do you partition a database when a single table reaches hundreds of millions of rows? How do you prevent cache stampedes when your cache expires during peak traffic?
Data Consistency & Concurrency
How do you prevent double-charging a credit card under high concurrency? When should you choose optimistic locking versus distributed Redis locks?
Failure Modes & Resiliency
What happens when downstream microservices time out? How do you implement circuit breakers, backoff retries, and dead-letter queues properly?
Everything You Need to Succeed in One Place
We organized all backend concepts into simple, structured modules so you can study efficiently without getting lost.
