Interview Process
The interview process involved a discussion on rate limiting algorithms. I was asked to implement a solution to handle a number of requests within a given time frame. The discussion focused on various approaches, including token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms. The interviewer was interested in how to balance throughput and latency, along with solving edge cases.
