Interview Process
The interview started with a brief introduction about the company and the role I applied for. The interviewer was friendly and explained the process of the interview. They asked about my previous experiences and projects, focusing on my contributions and the technologies I used. After that, they presented the Rate Limiter problem, which involved designing a system that could control how many requests a user can make to an API in a given time.
I discussed the different algorithms I could use to implement this, including the Token Bucket and Leaky Bucket algorithms. The interviewer prompted me to think about edge cases and how to handle them effectively. After explaining my approach, they asked a few follow-up questions about efficiency and scaling the solution. Overall, it was a good experience, and I felt prepared for the technical questions.
