And how would you make the cat geo distributed, highly-available and reasonable consistent using Spanner. And if the candidate has good answers we can follow up how to do all that without being provided the spanner infrastructure
For example: design Kafka, design distributed coordination systems? Good question, how about distributed system questions at Amazon, I guess they are not that different.
I have read the papers for above systems. But i dont feel confident, how can I improve?
At Amazon IMO they fall into 2 categories- infra and apps Eg of infra is what you gave Eg of app would be best selling products
