DevOps Engineer
This is a demo case file: a realistic example written from commonly known interview formats, not a real candidate's interview experience.
Questions asked
- A deploy just went out. p99 latency tripled but the error rate is flat. Walk me through your investigation.
- Write a Dockerfile for a Node.js service, then make the image smaller and more secure.
- How would you design CI/CD for 40 microservices so that bad releases are caught and rolled back safely?
What to expect
The troubleshooting scenario was interactive — the interviewer only revealed dashboard data and logs when I asked for specific things, so asking good questions mattered. Rolling back first and investigating second was the answer they wanted. Also expected multi-stage builds and not running as root.
