First Round: System Design and DB Architecture.

My performance was not up to par, and I received a rejection. The interviewer was very friendly and tried to make me as comfortable as possible. He also provided valuable feedback on the spot, which is quite rare these days.

Main focus was on DB hits, architecture, design, low latency, caching, and so on.
