Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Real-Time Dashboard Pipeline Design. 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 are starting a new analytics pipeline for dashboards that need fresh data within minutes. The main concern is how to move events from source systems through processing and into a serving layer without stale metrics or broken refreshes.

Question

What is your approach to building dashboards for real-time or near-real-time reporting?
