I got a call from a recruiter.

let's keep it simple and straight-forward.

Round-1 : DSA

Some HLD questions related to DB & features i developed.

i was asked 2 questions -

1. You’re building a dashboard for a ride-sharing service. Drivers submit ride logs throughout the day. Each log entry includes a driverId who picked up a passenger.

   The operations team wants to identify the smallest number of drivers who together accounted for at least k total pickups in the day.

   Your task is to return the minimum number of unique drivers required to reach at least k rides. The same driver may appear multiple times in the log (each time they picked someone up).

2. You’re building a backend service for a video streaming platform. Each server in your system can support a maximum bitrate capacity (measured in Mbps). Given a list of available servers and their capacities, you want to allocate at most k servers to serve a user in a way that guarantees at least a certain total bitrate.

   Your task is to find the minimum number of servers required to meet or exceed the target total bitrate.

"for both the questions i asked multiple clarity questions, and asked for some examples to help me clearly understand"

got ghosted.
