Handling a Production Incident

Summary

'Tell me about a time something broke in production' — testing composure under pressure and structured diagnostic thinking, even for a hypothetical or personal-project incident.

• 1Prepare a genuine story, even a small one from a personal or practice project.
• 2Structure it with STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for a tight answer.
• 3Focus on your diagnostic process and what you changed afterward, not just the fix itself.
