SRE coding interviews differ from traditional software engineering interviews. You'll write automation scripts, parse logs, and interact with APIs rather than implementing complex algorithms.
Python is the most common language. Go is increasingly popular at infrastructure companies. Bash scripting is expected for quick tasks.
I'll cover the practical coding patterns that appear in SRE interviews: log parsing, data transformation, API interactions, and the algorithmic problems you might encounter. The focus is on pragmatic, working code rather than optimal algorithmic complexity.
