What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Thanks for sharing it. I am more looking to find anyone who recently took the interview.
I took the interview with them recently and received an offer. One of the ways I studied was also through discovering the above poster's design when searching online as well as other general booking/reservation designs. I'm not sure how much I can disclose but I'll just say that while the above poster's diagrams are certainly helpful for solving the scale issue, there is no guarantee that scale/availability/fault tolerance will be their primary focus. I'll just say be sure to study for all parts of the system design interview cycle and not to just hyper focus on the design when it comes to scale.
@wayfair how long after the on-site did you receive the offer?
Yes, it’s literally hotel reservation problem. Just some variation of it. Here’s an answer key that I’ve drafted for people I have a video on it over here: https://youtu.be/Ale7Fn921GQ
Here’s a system design resource compilation that I’ve been working on for 6-9 months while I’m at it
I gave the interview last week. I used the above resource for prep. Thank you @Apple for the video. It was really helpful!
