Interview Prompt
Our data volume doubles every six months, and each server we add makes costs climb faster while 10x flash-sale spikes still take hours to recover from. Design a pipeline that scales automatically without manual provisioning for the teams and enterprise customers who read this data.
Summary
Tuesdays are quiet. Black Friday is not.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
