Interview Prompt

The platform reliability team monitors latency trends per service. For each service, compute a rolling average of latency across the current health check and the 6 checks immediately before it, ordered by check time. Return the service name, check timestamp, raw latency, and the rolling average.

Summary

Seven entries hold the trend.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
