Your question is Handle a Data Pipeline Outage. 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).
You are supporting a production data platform, and a critical pipeline failure impacts downstream reporting and operational decisions. The issue is visible to business users, leadership wants frequent updates, and you need to stabilize the production environment before deciding whether to roll back, patch forward, or run a backfill.
Tell me about a time you handled a production failure. How did you assess the risk, communicate with stakeholders, decide on a rollback plan, and restore the pipeline safely?
