The interview ran for only 30 mins. First after the introductions one of the interviewer asked me how would you design a FastAPI codebase with frontend, backend and middleware services. I got many cross questions based on what I said. Then another interviewer gave a python snippet to solve. and lastly was asked a question on auto scaling in Kubernetes. Another surprise round of interview was scheduled, questions were targeted mostly towards GitHub Actions and Kubernetes. Most of the questions were scenario based. Didn't asked me to write any action's workflow or yaml.
