Explain and diagram your past system architecture evaluates requirements, scale assumptions, API/data design, architecture, trade-offs, failure modes, and rollout in a realistic interview setting. A strong answer states assumptions, handles edge cases, explains trade-offs, and shows how to validate the result clearly.
Whiteboard the architecture of a real system you have built or owned. Describe the main components, data flows, storage choices, scaling and resiliency strategies, deployment/DevOps topology, and key trade-offs. Justify technology selections and discuss how the design evolved.
