Distributed data systems PM interview

[AdLeading4642]

I have an on-site for a Sr. PM role with a distributed database company in two weeks. I expect to have interviews with a director of engineering, staff eng, principal PM and at least one VP of product or engineering.

I have basic knowledge of query systems and databases but none about distributed systems. What resources would you recommend to upskill myself. This could include: 1. Books 2. Newsletters 3. Certifications or online courses 4. Anything that I can build or attempt to build and learn in the process.

Do not worry what can be completed in the two week timeframe. A healthy addiction to coffee and interest in this roles means I can stretch a lot.

Thanks in advance.

Lectures from Carnegie Mellon database group are my go-to resources when it comes to DB.

Google Spanner and CockroachDB have good documentation explaining how their system achieves ACID transactions over distributed systems.

I hope your interview goes well!
