Coding problem2

The interview process was quite structured. It began with the interviewer introducing himself, followed by asking me to introduce myself. He then explained the stages of the interview.

The last 15 minutes of the interview were dedicated to a discussion about database architecture. This discussion started with a system design problem where I was asked to design the architecture and develop the APIs for a specific application. The interviewer was very supportive and clarified all my doubts throughout the process.

The total duration of the interview was about 90 minutes. However, 60 minutes into the interview, I realized that I hadn't completed the coding part. Seeing this, the interviewer asked me to provide a low-level design for it as time was running out.

Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I wasn't able to crack the interview. Despite this setback, I learned a lot from the experience and am looking forward to future opportunities.
