Interview Prompt

We run health checks across our services and need to audit unexpected state changes. Surface every reading where a service's status differs from its previous check, showing the old and new status side by side.

Summary

A service's health is a story told in how it turns. Find every turn.

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
