🧱What LLD Actually Means
Low Level Design (LLD) is the stage where you decide classes, methods, interfaces, and object relationships for a concrete implementation. High Level Design tells you what major components exist. LLD tells you exactly how those components behave in code.
Key points
- •LLD sits between architecture and coding
- •It focuses on maintainable object models, not infrastructure
- •Good LLD reduces rewrite work when requirements evolve
- •In interviews, clarity beats cleverness
From problem to code
- •Requirements define what the system must do
- •HLD defines services and major boundaries
- •LLD defines class contracts and interactions
- •Code implements those contracts
Pro tip: If two people can read your class model and implement the same behavior with minimal ambiguity, your LLD is in a good place.
