Interview Prompt

An on-call lead only trusts alerts from services that also report into `svc_health`. She wants each severity's average alert count across the service-severity pairs in `alert_events` that fired more than once.

Summary

The alert volume varies. So does what it means.

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
