List non-functional requirements for the system...
1 System should be highly scalable
2 System should be fault tolorrent
3 system hound have low latency
Estimate the scale of the system you are going to design...
Let’s assume there are 10^8 DAU the qps 10^8 /10^5 =10^3
Define what APIs are expected from the system...
Defining the system data model early on will clarify how data will flow among different components of the system. Also you could draw an ER diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
As the system is write heavy as every second the weather can change so we will use nosql daytabase like mongodb which will have the following structure
{
“_id”:,
”temprature”:
”wind”,
”humidity”,
”precipitation “
}
this will be sample structure of the document
You should identify enough components that are needed to solve the actual problem from end to end. Also remember to draw a block diagram using the diagramming tool to augment your design. If you are unfamiliar with the tool, you can simply describe your design to the chat bot and ask it to generate a starter diagram for you to modify...
A users logs in to application we will use Aws cognito service for authentication after successfull authentication the call will go to load balancer which will the forward the request to any one of the api server the api server will then forward the call to mongodb which will query the details and respond it back to user
Explain how the request flows from end to end in your high level design. Also you could draw a sequence diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your

Dig deeper into 2-3 components and explain in detail how they work. For example, how well does each component scale? Any relevant algorithm or data structure you like to use for a component? Also you could draw a diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
Explain any trade offs you have made and why you made certain tech choices...
Try to discuss as many failure scenarios/bottlenecks as possible.
What are some future improvements you would make? How would you mitigate the failure scenario(s) you described above?
