Interview Process
The interview consisted of a discussion about the Rate Limiter problem. The interviewer asked me to design a system that would limit requests to a certain number per minute, ensuring that the system could handle spikes in traffic. I explained my approach, which involved using a token bucket algorithm. We talked through the pros and cons of different approaches, and I was asked about how I would handle requests that exceed the limit.
After discussing the Rate Limiter, we moved on to some behavioral questions. I was asked about my experience working in teams, how I handle conflicts, and examples of overcoming challenges in previous projects. Overall, it was a good experience, and I felt that I was able to effectively communicate my thought process.
