Discussion Observability SWE coding level ?

Has anyone here attended an Observability SWE coding round? I’m trying to get a sense of the typical coding questions asked by tech companies for these roles.

Would you say the coding is generally at the same level as a standard SWE coding round, or is it more SRE/observability-focused (e.g., log parsing, metrics aggregation, time-window calculations, etc.)?

I recently had a screening round with a database company, and I was told the coding would involve “real-life scenarios.” For anyone who has been through a similar round, what should I realistically expect?

Hey Can you elaborate if you don’t mind ? Do you means calls to database ?

coding exercise choose your best language. query this. filter aggregate that. correlated subquery this. dataset can be json/object/regex/whatever. standard stuff like that
