Hello, I have a question about answering System Design interviews for people working in cloud companies. At work you maybe required to use your companies products for your projects and you maybe familiar with how these work. When doing design interviews, do you design using these products or use open source technologies? Eg. Kafka vs SQS, Cassandra vs DynamoDB.
Which approach is better? Please advise.

You must be able to justify your choice though, and hold your ground when they fire questions at you. So don't throw random names when designing. Solidify your knowledge about 2-3 tools in each area and stick to that.
