LLD Machine Coding Session 7 — In-Memory Key-Value Store with TTL (Timed 45 min)
Timed 45 min using the LLD rubric (Architecture §15): requirements → entities → interfaces → patterns → concurrency → tests → extensibility. Write the checklist and a one-page class diagram; self-timed [VERIFY lldcoding.com / Workat.tech availability]. Problem: in-memory key-value store with per-key TTL, lazy + background expiry, LRU eviction cap; concurrency: ConcurrentHashMap vs ReentrantReadWriteLock, scheduled cleanup thread.
1.5h
LLD
LLD Machine Coding Session 8 — Food Delivery / Ride Matching (90-min Round Simulation)
Simulate the Uber/Swiggy/Cred-style 90-minute machine-coding round: runnable Java console app, no framework, SOLID layers, Strategy for matching (nearest driver / least-loaded), State for order lifecycle, Observer for status updates, thread-safe assignment; then extend by one requirement. Timed 45 min using the LLD rubric (Architecture §15): requirements → entities → interfaces → patterns → concurrency → tests → extensibility. Write the checklist and a one-page class diagram; self-timed [VERIFY lldcoding.com / Workat.tech availability].
