Your question is Consistency vs Availability Tradeoffs. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How do you handle consistency versus availability in a distributed system?
Explain how you would make the choice for different operations, especially during network partitions or regional failures. Address consistency models, replication and quorum behavior, graceful degradation, recovery, and how you would validate the design in production.
