Interview Prompt
Our product team tracks user engagement through active user counts. They need hourly active users, daily active users, and weekly active users all refreshed every hour. Right now we compute these at query time and it is too slow. Design a pipeline that pre-computes and serves these metrics.
Summary
Dashboards can't wait for raw logs. Something has to happen upstream.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write your pipeline design solution with real code execution
- Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
