Interview Prompt

We're rebuilding the first page of the service catalog from the `svc_health` checks: the first ten services alphabetically, each shown with the bucket its name advertises. 'api' in the name makes it an 'api_service', 'cache' or 'redis' a 'cache_service', 'db' or 'postgres' a 'database', and anything else 'other'.

Summary

The name tells you what it is. Mostly.

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
