Common Interview Questions
- Q: What quality gates should block release?
A: Lead with correctness then throughput: choose dispatcher by workload type, keep critical sections small, cap parallelism, and monitor tail latency and queue depth.
- Q: How does SOC2/GDPR influence release process?
A: Answer with a release-safety flow: deterministic build, automated quality gates, staged rollout, observability thresholds, and a fast rollback path.
