• Design comments and async image generationMedium

  This question evaluates full-stack system-design competencies, including CRUD API and data-model design for sortable queries with persisted user preferences, frontend-backend synchronization, and asynchronous long-running job orchestration, status/result APIs, and UI ordering for image generation; it falls under the System Design category and tests a mix of conceptual architectural reasoning and practical application design. It is commonly asked because it probes the ability to balance scalability, consistency, user experience, and fault-tolerant asynchronous processing when designing end-to-end systems that must handle persistence, ordering guarantees, and long-running background work.
