Our platform generates 600 million user interaction events per day through Kafka and we need a cost-efficient architecture to store and query this data for analytics with a two-year retention requirement. Query latency and storage cost are both first-class constraints. Design the end-to-end ingestion, storage, and query architecture.
Ask the interviewer clarifying questions to understand the requirements and constraints before designing.
