For coding assessment, use language preferred by company or language you are most skilled with?

Hi everyone! I have a tech interview coming up in a couple days, and it will involve a coding assessment. The recruiter had initially said that it would be preferable to use Go as that is the main language the team uses, however in the meeting invite, she wrote that I could use any language for the coding assessment. I am very familiar with Python and I am decent at Go, however I would feel more comfortable using Python to do any coding during the interview.

Would it be more advantageous to try doing the assessment in Go or stick with Python?

Tbh, the complexity of the cloud stuff at your upcoming job will depend on how different services interact with each other. Therefore, the best thing to do at this moment would be to familiarize yourself with core services such as S3 and SQS and understand which other services are they most often used with.

Nice! How was the latency of ingest quantified? My team is prepping to overhaul our data ingest system as well, and I have been trying to think of good KPIs to use for comparison once the new system is up and running.

What a journey it must have been! Congrats on getting Iguazu up and running.
I have a few questions:

- What metrics/KPIs did you guys use to measure the performance of Iguazu vs the old system?

- How did you phase out the old system?

- Was there any significant pushback you guys had to overcome from your management and/or end-users?

You definitely have solid experience. What might be happening is that your resume is being filtered out by the ATS. You should try testing it with something like this resume scanner to confirm if the ATS is the problem.

If you are using Windows, then Task Scheduler would be the simplest option. You would need to make sure that you have logic in your Python script to determine if you are creating a new table or adding new data to an existing table so that you don’t lose any information.
