Interview Prompt

Our live operations dashboard trails reality by minutes, and its counts disagree with the numbers analysts later pull from history, on a platform ingesting about 5 billion user-interaction events a day. Design the pipeline that serves both the dashboard and the analysts' ad-hoc queries over years of events.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
