Problem

Scenario

You are building a real-time messaging product where messages should be delivered quickly, but some content must be flagged or blocked before it reaches the recipient. The system needs to score text as messages are sent and support policy updates over time.

Question

How would you design a real-time messaging system?

What this tests

  • Real-time text classification on the message send path
  • Low-latency model serving and fallback behavior
  • Online and offline feature management
  • Drift, skew, and experiment design for trust and safety systems
