Microsoft Platform interview questions
63 interview questions for Platform roles at Microsoft, written from Microsoft’s 8 current postings on its own careers page. These are what the postings say to prepare for — not questions Microsoft has asked.
Three of the questions
- Fabric is described as a 'high throughput and multi-tenant service.' Walk me through how you'd design tenant isolation so one noisy customer can't degrade performance for others, and how you'd detect that it's happening in production.
- You're on-call for Fabric and get paged for a sudden spike in latency affecting a subset of tenants during peak hours. Walk me through how you'd triage this.
- We've got a metric that says our service reliability is degrading, but you're also supposed to be shipping a new feature your product manager is excited about. How would you handle that tension?
