Practice real questions and get instant feedback before the real thing.
Q: Given a raw log file, parse specific fields and aggregate error counts by hour.
A: Read the file line by line, extract the timestamp and error field, then bucket by hour and tally counts in a hash map.
Q: Design a data structure that supports insert, delete, and getRandom in O(1) time.
A: Combine a hash map with a dynamic array: the map stores value to index, the array stores the values, and getRandom picks a random index.
Q: How would you design a system to ingest and query custom metrics from millions of hosts?
A: Frame it around ingestion, storage, and query layers: an agent on each host, a scalable pipeline, a time-series store, and pre-aggregation for fast reads.
Q: Walk me through the most difficult bug you have ever debugged. How did you find it, and how did you fix it?
A: Use a structured story: the situation, how you isolated the root cause, the fix, and the guardrail you added. Keep it specific to your own work.
