1. [OA] Dynamic Configuration Management — Design a distributed configuration manager for Uber services
You will create a class
ConfigManager that manages the configuration retrieval process. get_config(service: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: Retrieves the configuration for the specified service.set_config(service: str, config: Dict[str, Any]) -> None: Sets the configuration for the specified service.watch_config(service: str, callback: Callable[[Dict[str, Any]], None]) -> None: Registers a callback to be called when the configuration changes for the specified service.
Example 1:
Input:
set_config('payment-service', {'timeout': 30, 'retries': 5})Output:
NoneExplanation: Sets configuration for the
payment-service.Example 2:Input:
get_config('order-service')Output:
{'timeout': 20, 'retries': 3}Explanation: Retrieves the current configuration for
order-service.Constraints:1 <= service.length <= 100- Configuration values are alphanumeric strings.
2. [OA] CI/CD Optimization — Implement a CI/CD pipeline to optimize deployment for Uber's microservices architecture
You are to develop a class
CICDPipeline that helps manage the CI/CD process.deploy(service: str) -> str: Deploys the given service and returns a status message.rollback(service: str) -> str: Rolls back the last deployment of the given service and returns a status message.pipeline_status(service: str) -> str: Returns the current status of the deployment pipeline for the given service.
Example 1:
Input:
deploy('user-service')Output:
'Deployment for user-service initiated.'Explanation: Starts the deployment process for
user-service.Example 2:Input:
pipeline_status('order-service')Output:
'order-service is currently being deployed.'Explanation: Shows the status of the deployment.Constraints:
1 <= service.length <= 100- The service name follows standard naming conventions (alphanumeric and hyphens).
