Screening Questions & Architecture Insights
Review Pratham's verified answers to common senior cloud architecture screening questions before you interview.
I design a decoupled event ingestion architecture. Incoming webhooks (e.g., Shopify transaction events) hit a lightweight ASP.NET Core Web API or Azure Function that validates payloads and immediately enqueues messages onto an Azure Service Bus queue. This guarantees sub-second response times back to the webhook sender and prevents queue starvation during traffic surges. Downstream background workers and Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipelines pull from the queue with dead-letter handling, transforming and loading data into SQL Server or data warehouses without locking active tables.
