Software Architect interview questions: the 8 to ask
A software architect defines how systems are structured and keeps them consistent, secure and scalable.
- 1.Monolith or microservices: which criteria?
- 2.How do you document an architecture decision?
- 3.How do you deal with eventual consistency?
- 4.How do you design for failure?
- 5.How do you keep cloud costs under control?
- 6.How do you evolve an existing architecture safely?
- 7.How do you evaluate a new technology?
- 8.Tell me about an architecture you had to rethink.
Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
