Question: How did you implement user authentication in the web application, and what security measures did you take?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should describe the authentication process, such as using JWT tokens or session management, and discuss security measures like hashing passwords and using HTTPS.
- Sample Answer: “I implemented user authentication using JWT tokens. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storing them in the database, and I ensured that all API endpoints are accessed over HTTPS to prevent data interception.”
Question: What challenges did you encounter while integrating the frontend and backend, and how did you resolve them?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should identify specific integration challenges, such as CORS issues or data format mismatches, and explain how they overcame these issues.
- Sample Answer: “I faced a CORS issue when the frontend tried to make API calls to the backend. I resolved it by configuring CORS in the Spring Boot application to allow requests from the frontend domain.”
Question: How did you ensure the scalability of the web application, and what architectural decisions did you make to support future growth?
- Expected Answer: The candidate should discuss architectural choices, such as using microservices, load balancing, or database optimization, to ensure scalability.
- Sample Answer: “I used a microservices architecture to separate the user management and content management features, allowing each service to scale independently. I also optimized database queries and indexed frequently accessed columns to improve performance.”
