MicrosoftDoubling Every Six Months
We're a fast-growing marketplace and our data volume has been doubling every six months. We keep throwing more servers at the problem but it doesn't scale and the costs are exploding. We want to redesign the pipeline on AWS so it scales automatically with our data volume without us having to provision capacity manually. Design the pipeline.
Ask the interviewer clarifying questions to understand the requirements and constraints before designing.
