Get ready to immerse yourself in an authentic interview experience designed to simulate a high-stakes API design interview at top tech companies! This session focuses on designing the API for Zoom, the popular video conferencing application. As you embark on this 40-45 minute journey, you'll navigate through real-world challenges such as defining service endpoints, ensuring seamless media streaming, and balancing scalability with security. You'll interact with Edward, an adaptive, knowledgeable interviewer who will guide you through various stages of conceptual complexity, requiring both text and visual illustrations to assess your problem-solving skills comprehensively.

What You'll Practice:

• Dive into comprehensive API design, tackling both functional and non-functional requirements.
• Master the art of designing service endpoints and defining their interactions.
• Enhance your knowledge of key concepts like idempotency, caching strategies, and API versioning.
• Explore architectural patterns like REST, WebSockets, and HTTP/2, and justify their usage.
• Develop your ability to visualize and illustrate complex service diagrams and data flows.

Outcome: By the end of this session, you'll be better equipped to handle intricate API design interviews, articulate your design decisions with clarity, and showcase your ability to create robust, scalable, and secure APIs in real-world scenarios.
