πŸ’¬ Potential Interview Questions

  1. How do you architect scalable full-stack applications using Node.js and React?
    Use modular services, REST or GraphQL APIs, component-based UI, containerization (Docker), and cloud-native practices like serverless or microservices.

  2. How do you handle asynchronous operations in Node.js, especially in a SaaS context?
    Use async/await, Promise chaining, or background jobs with queues (e.g., Bull), and ensure proper error handling and observability.

  3. What are best practices for designing reusable and testable React components?
    Keep components stateless where possible, use hooks for logic reuse, follow atomic design, and write unit tests with tools like Jest and React Testing Library.

  4. How do you ensure secure API design and data integrity in a Node.js backend?
    Implement authentication/authorization (OAuth2/JWT), input validation (Joi/Zod), rate limiting, logging, and proper error handling.

  5. What’s your approach to integrating cloud-native technologies in full-stack development?
    Leverage AWS services like Lambda, S3, RDS, and CloudWatch; automate infrastructure with IaC tools; and follow CI/CD pipelines for deployments.

  6. How do you translate business requirements into actionable sprint stories?
    Break down features into user stories, define clear acceptance criteria, prioritize by value and complexity, and validate with stakeholders regularly.

  7. How do you manage team collaboration in distributed or remote development environments?
    Use async communication tools (Slack, Confluence), daily standups, clear code ownership, PR reviews, and shared documentation standards.

  8. What challenges have you faced when integrating Java services in a Node.js/React environment, and how did you overcome them?
    Challenges include differing serialization formats, CORS issues, and authentication flows; solve with shared API specs, gateway middleware, and consistent auth strategies.

  9. What strategies do you use for mentoring engineers and scaling technical knowledge across a team?
    Encourage code reviews, pair programming, tech talks, documentation, and feedback loops to build skill and knowledge consistency.

  10. How do you prototype features quickly while maintaining production readiness?
    Use feature flags, stub/mock services, build modular POCs, and apply TDD to ensure prototypes evolve into robust, maintainable code.
