Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Monitor a Mission Critical Pipeline. 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.

Problem

Scenario

You're responsible for a pipeline that supports a mission critical service, and you need a clear way to detect failures before they affect downstream users. You want visibility into pipeline health, data correctness, and operational issues across ingestion, processing, and delivery.

Question

How would you design a monitoring and alerting strategy for a mission-critical service?
