Design a event-driven data pipeline system handling millions of requests. Discuss consistency, availability, and performance trade-offs.

How to Approach This
  1. Start by mapping the business objective to a concrete ML objective and metric.
  2. Cover the full pipeline: data collection, feature engineering, model selection, training, serving.
  3. Discuss online vs offline evaluation. Plan an A/B test to validate real-world impact.
  4. Address the serving latency budget and whether batch or real-time inference is needed.
  5. Think about the data flywheel: how user feedback improves the model over time.
