“Rate limiter system design mock for an SDE-2 interview”
I want a system design interview mock on the rate limiter problem and one more HLD question, for an SDE-2 loop. The company is a food delivery firm in Bengaluru. I have three years of backend experience in Java and Spring Boot at a SaaS startup. I've read the usual material, but when the interviewer pushes (distributed counters, Redis failures, sliding window accuracy, multi-region) I lose structure.
I'd like two 60-minute mocks: rate limiter first, then something like a notification service. Honest feedback after each on structure, depth and trade-offs please. My HLD round is in about three weeks.
- Two 60-minute HLD mocks
- Feedback on structure, depth and trade-offs
- Notes on follow-up questions to prepare
For: SDE-2 candidate in Bengaluru
