I would inspect event ordering, retries, idempotency controls, dead-letter queues, and eventual-consistency behavior, then reproduce the failure where possible. The resolution would include a targeted fix, monitoring alerts, and regression tests for the identified failure mode. How do you design a resilient NestJS API that serves both REST and GraphQL clients? I separate domain logic from transport-specific controllers and resolvers so that validation, authorization, and business rules are consistently applied. I use clear DTOs and schemas, structured error handling, versioning where appropriate, and observability around latency and error rates. I also protect dependencies with timeouts, retries where safe, and idempotent operations for mutation workflows. What considerations matter when implementing real-time features with WebSockets at scale? I consider connection lifecycle management, authentication, authorization by channel, message ordering, back-pressure, and reconnection behavior. For horizontal scaling, I use a shared pub/sub or event backbone so messages can reach users connected to different instances. I also instrument connection counts, delivery failures, latency, and disconnect patterns to identify reliability issues. Describe how you would improve performance for a backend service using DynamoDB and PostgreSQL. I would begin with metrics and traces to identify whether latency comes from database access, application processing, or downstream calls. For DynamoDB, I would review access patterns, partition-key distribution, indexes, and capacity behavior; for PostgreSQL, I would examine query plans, indexes, lock contention, and connection pooling. Changes would be benchmarked and released incrementally with monitoring and rollback safeguards. How do you contribute to architectural decisions while joining an unfamiliar product team? I first learn the product flows, current architecture, operational constraints, and recurring engineering pain points through documentation, code review, and conversations with stakeholders. I then present options with explicit trade-offs around reliability, delivery speed, cost, and maintainability. I aim to make small, evidence-based improvements early while building alignment before proposing larger changes. Next step ## Apply now.
