Imagine cult.fit's user base has grown 10x in the last year. Our current backend services are struggling with latency, especially during peak class booking hours. Describe how you would approach identifying the bottlenecks and what architectural changes you might consider to scale our services.
Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates the candidate's ability to design scalable systems and troubleshoot performance issues under high load.We are experiencing intermittent failures in the live streaming of our yoga classes. Users report choppy video and audio drops. Given a snippet of our Node.js streaming service code, how would you debug this issue, and what tools would you use?
Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses debugging skills and familiarity with common streaming issues and backend troubleshooting.Write a SQL query to find the top 5 most popular fitness categories (e.g., Yoga, HIIT, Strength) based on the number of classes booked across all cult.fit users in the last month, joining relevant tables like `classes`, `bookings`, and `categories`.
Software EngineerSQLTests: Tests proficiency in SQL for data retrieval and analysis.Design a system for real-time progress tracking for users participating in our at-home workout programs. This system needs to handle data from potentially millions of users concurrently, showing their workout completion, streaks, and personal bests. Consider the data model, APIs, and potential challenges.
Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Measures the candidate's ability to design robust, real-time systems for a large user base.You are given logs from our mobile app showing users attempting to book a class. Some users report a 'booking failed' error without further details. How would you instrument the app and backend to gather more specific information to diagnose these failures?
Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Evaluates understanding of logging, instrumentation, and practical debugging of user-facing issues.Our cult.fit platform allows users to book multiple sessions in a day. Write a Python function that takes a list of booked session timestamps for a user and returns the longest contiguous block of free time they have between sessions. Consider edge cases like no sessions booked or sessions back-to-back.
Software EngineerCodingTests: Tests algorithmic thinking and coding proficiency in a common scenario.
