Meta infrastructure system design template

Hi All,

I appeared for IC5 Meta full loop. I recieved positive response from Coding and Behavioral rounds.
However, I am asked for additional round on System design. I am being assessed on Infrastructure System design round.

I usually follow below template for System design

  • Problem statement clarification
  • Back of the envelope Estimates
  • High level design (start with simplistic one and enhance each component)
  • Deep dive for each component on how will each component handle scale, latency, fault tolerance, etc

I was comfortable with topic given for system design round, however, by the time I was done with simplistic High level design, my interviewer asked multiple questions, I answered those and it was already 45 minutes.

As an IC5, I am expected to be proactive, however, I asked questions to interviewer if he wants me to zoom in into any specific component, does that mean I am not proactive?

What is the expected template from Meta. I struggle to go though all optimizations I have in just 45 minutes.
