 Please help Amazon's interview question
1 question:
Imagine you have a database that can only do 2,000 queries a second. Your web application gets 5,000 queries a second, what can you do to improve the situation? After asking him for some clarifications, he added: Imagine its a stock quote engine for NASDAQ and that the queries are about the top 100 stocks at closing.
2nd question:
Imagine you have a big online storefront. Your webserver can only do 1,000 concurrent requests. Many people are visiting your website and you want to support 3,000 concurrent requests. What would you do? I asked for some clarifications, and he said: The limitation is computational power and not bandwidth.
This questions were asked in Amazon's phone interview, is posted by the person who had interview, but there are no answers and i have interview with them in 5 hours..
please please help me...
please :-(
