Process
The interviewer was less experienced than me. Zepto should give interviewers who are skilled and have more experience than the candidate.
They asked four easy SQL questions, where they pasted the questions from LeetCode and ran the solutions I provided on LeetCode.
They asked me to design a streaming data pipeline, which I guess was part of their use case. They weren't ready to hear anything apart from what they might have seen in their project.
Questions
SQL-like: left anti join, join, window function
