After that I received a call for interivew (Domain Knowledge Interview).

Discussed about Kafka, CDC, Real-time streaming,

  1. User clickstream data pipeline, how we will fetch data, store it, why we can't directly write it into S3, why you're putting it into Kafka first ?

  2. How you will expose your OLAP data through API for microservices ? How you can expose and built realtime dashboards ?

  3. How your company manage Data Governance ?

  4. Kafka architecture, what if data size increased how you will handle it.

No discussion on assignment in this round.

Verdict - Rejected !!
