Structured interview

Question: How did you ensure the performance optimization of the API you developed in the work sample task?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should describe specific optimization techniques such as caching, indexing, or reducing database calls.
- Sample Answer: “I implemented in-memory caching using Redis to store frequently accessed data, which reduced the need for repeated database queries. I also used Goroutines to handle concurrent requests, improving the API’s overall response time.”
Question: What error handling mechanisms did you implement in the API, and why?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should explain how they handled different types of errors and ensured that the API provided meaningful responses to clients.
- Sample Answer: “I implemented error handling by returning appropriate HTTP status codes, such as 400 for validation errors and 500 for internal server errors. I also ensured that the error messages were descriptive enough to help clients understand what went wrong.”
Question: How did you approach writing unit tests for the API, and what tools did you use?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should explain their testing strategy, including the use of testing frameworks and the types of tests they wrote.
- Sample Answer: “I used Go’s built-in testing package to write unit tests for each API endpoint, ensuring that all functions performed as expected. I also used a mocking library to simulate database interactions, which allowed me to test the API’s behavior without relying on a live database.”
