Practice real questions and get instant feedback before the real thing.
Q: Explain the software development lifecycle and the methodologies you have experience with.
A: Walk through planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance, then name the methodologies you've actually shipped with, such as Agile or Scrum, Kanban, or Waterfall, and how you applied them.
Q: Describe how you would optimize an algorithm for performance.
A: Start by profiling to find the real bottleneck instead of guessing, then reduce time or space complexity with better data structures, caching, or by cutting redundant work, and measure the change to confirm it helped.
Q: Design a system to handle real-time data processing for thousands of users.
A: Clarify throughput and latency targets first, then sketch a streaming pipeline with an ingest queue, stream processors that scale horizontally, backpressure to absorb spikes, and monitoring across the flow.
Q: How would you architect a microservices application?
A: Split services along business domains, put an API gateway in front, use async messaging between services, give each service its own data store, and design for observability and failure isolation.
