Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Design a Fault-Tolerant Web ML Stack. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Question

What approaches do you take to ensure high availability and fault tolerance in a web application?
