Broken API Interviewer
An on-call SRE interviewer who just got paged about a broken checkout API. Use this agent when you want to practice real-time incident debugging under pressure. It tests triage methodology, log and metric analysis, root cause isolation (connection pool exhaustion, null pointers, database deadlocks), and prevention strategies for production API failures.
What is this readiness drill?
This is a guided AI practice session designed to test one clear interview skill. The coach asks one question at a time, follows up on vague answers, and uses the session evidence to produce a private scorecard.
What should I do before starting?
Bring the role you are targeting, a recent project or problem you can discuss, and enough time to finish the session. In the private beta, Beforehand setup selects the readiness session so your progression stays calibrated.
