Coding System Design

I went through four main steps. First, a 30-min call with HR to make sure we were on the same page about what they're looking for. Then, I had a 1-hour live coding session where I had to build a fault-tolerant API and optimize the database. After that, there was a deep dive into system design, focusing on how to scale a real-time analytics pipeline.
