Cloud, DevOps & Production Engineering
Senior → Staff → Architect Interview Preparation
Learn how modern applications move from code to production — and how senior engineers design, deploy, monitor, scale, and troubleshoot them. Every module is short and crisp — concepts, diagrams, and the senior-level reasoning interviewers actually probe — so you can go from code to production with confidence.

How code becomes a deployable artifact — branching strategy, reviews, build-once/deploy-many, environment promotion, and pipeline gates.
Jenkins & Deployment Strategies
Designing reliable pipelines and safe releases — Jenkinsfile, gates, rollback, and rolling / blue-green / canary / feature-flag deployments.
Docker & Kubernetes
Containers and orchestration for production — images and layers, Deployments, Services, Ingress, probes, HPA, rollouts, and failure modes.
Azure Deployment & Infrastructure
Production Azure — subscriptions, RBAC, Managed Identity, Key Vault, App Service / Functions / AKS, and Infrastructure as Code with Bicep.
APIs, WebJobs & Kafka
Service communication at scale — API design (auth, rate limiting, idempotency, versioning), background WebJobs, and Kafka streaming.
Observability: New Relic & Splunk
Finding production problems fast — metrics, logs, and traces, and the alert → trace → logs → root cause investigation mindset.
Production Troubleshooting
A repeatable incident framework — Stabilise → Assess → Diagnose → Resolve → Prevent — applied to the classic production failure scenarios.
Senior / Staff Architecture
Tying it together — reliability, scalability, zero-downtime deployment, security, observability, and cost as production architecture principles.
This track targets Senior → Staff → Architect interviews. It assumes you can already code — the focus is how systems are built, shipped, observed, scaled, and recovered in production.
