I really like what you've built, it'll help a lot of engineers.

MLE at Facebook

It's well organized and the illustrations are well done. Being able to visualize and walk through the steps in order is really helpful in system design. The hints for quizzes is a nice addition, a hint is given if you get stuck in a real interview, mimicking how a real interview

# 4. Calculation & estimation
## Assumptions
- 100 million monthly active users 
- On average, users book rental homes 5 times per year. Users see about 30 rentals from the search result before booking. 
- There are 5 * 30 * ${10 ^ 8}$ or 15 billion observations/samples per year or 1.25 billion samples per month.  

## Data size
- Assume there are hundreds of features per  sample. For the sake of simplicity, each row takes 500 bytes to store. 
- Total data size: 500 * 1.25 * ${10^9}$ = 625 * ${10^9}$ bytes = 625 GB. To save costs, we can keep the last 6 months or 1 year of data in the data lake, and archive old data in cold storage.
## Scale
- Support 150 million users
