Interview Prompt
Our monitoring platform records every health check with one of several outcomes, and the on-call team is chasing the checks that timed out. For each cloud region, find the service that logged the most timed-out checks, and report that count, the calendar month it first timed out in, and how many services in the region logged a timeout at all.
Summary
Same services, same checks, same problems.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your SQL against a real database
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
