The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Produce a scalable-system-design spec to grow a streaming-ingest pipeline from 80k to 1M events/sec, with a prototype that validates the capacity model on the bottleneck component.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build a defensible capacity model for a streaming pipeline
- Pick partitioning and hot-key strategies under real skew
- Define operational SLOs that map to customer impact
- Validate a capacity model with a focused prototype, not a full rebuild
