Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kafka Architecture and Triage Production Scenarios

Q: Walk me through your exact terminal level diagnostic methodology when you see 85 URPs in a Kafka cluster.

Identify the blast radius by describing the struggling brokers, then isolate to a single broker (e.g., broker 3) and examine disk IO wait times and JVM pauses. If a compaction storm or disk saturation is detected, apply non-destructive, gradual fixes like throttling, selective data deletion, and controlled reassignments, while preserving cluster stability.

[AWS] Applying TOGAF on AWS migration

Q: How do you handle architecture governance for a portfolio of 200 legacy applications?

Rely on Phase G with Compliance Gates, use a tiered review approach based on the 6Rs, and enforce ADRs to maintain a clear audit trail and prevent rehashing architectural debates.

[AWS] Applying TOGAF on AWS migration

Q: Walk me through a database migration from On-Prem Oracle to AWS Aurora.

Begin with schema assessment using the Schema Conversion Tool, identify complex PL/SQL for manual rewrite, design a DMS replication topology with a full load plus CDC for near-zero downtime, validate data, and execute a well-documented rollback if needed.

[AWS] Applying TOGAF on AWS migration

Q: How does Toji Ave actually add value to a cloud migration compared to just using the standard AWS frameworks?

Toji Ave provides governance, business alignment, and formal decision-making structures that bridge enterprise strategy with technical execution, serving as an overarching governance container that integrates AWS patterns into the ADM phases for actual delivery.

[JAVA] Circuit Breaker Interview

Q: Which pattern wraps which in a typical setup—circuit breaker and retry—and why?

The Circuit Breaker should wrap the retry sequence so that the entire retry flow is treated as a single operation. If the first two attempts fail but the third succeeds, the breaker sees a single successful operation, preventing premature tripping from transient glitches.
