I would use bounded concurrency, timeouts, retries with backoff, idempotency keys, observability, and durable event storage to maintain reliability under load. How do you prevent concurrency issues in Go services? I minimize shared mutable state, use channels when ownership transfer is clearer than locking, and use mutexes only around tightly scoped critical sections. I also run the race detector, write concurrent load tests, define cancellation behavior with contexts, and ensure goroutines have clear lifecycle and cleanup paths. Describe how you would approach an API that must be both low latency and highly available. I would establish latency and availability SLOs, identify dependencies on the critical path, and use caching, connection pooling, efficient serialization, and regional redundancy where appropriate. I would also implement circuit breakers, graceful degradation, health checks, and dashboards that expose p95/p99 latency, error rates, saturation, and dependency health. What practices do you use to ensure a microservice is secure? I apply least-privilege access controls, strong authentication and authorization, input validation, secret management, encryption in transit and at rest, and dependency scanning. For identity-related data, I also prioritize audit logging, data minimization, secure retention policies, and threat modeling during design reviews. How do you mentor junior engineers while maintaining delivery velocity? I combine timely, constructive code reviews with pairing sessions and clear design documentation so engineers understand both the implementation and the reasoning. I delegate appropriately sized ownership areas, set explicit quality expectations, and use retrospectives to turn recurring issues into shared engineering improvements.
