Interview Process
The interview consisted of one main question regarding implementing a rate limiter. The interviewer asked me to explain my thought process and how I would approach the problem. I discussed different approaches, including fixed window and sliding window algorithms. I ended up implementing the sliding window solution using a queue and a hash map to keep track of the request counts. The interviewer was very engaged and asked follow-up questions around optimization and edge cases, such as what to do when the limit is reached. Overall, it was a great experience but felt slightly rushed due to time constraints.
