Assume total active user: 1 Million
Assume increment of user per year by : 10% i.e 10000 and decrement of 3% per year.
total max device of a user: 2
Device: apple watch 1
Activity log to be sent from device
time: int64
activity: string
start time: long
end time: long
tracking type: String
min heart rate: int
max heart rate: int
This payload size: 2 KB
update sent to server from device:
Total network call to service: 5 M / 10 Min
Network bandwidth uses range: 2KB - 5KB
Size: 1 KB size per user
user name: String
user id: String
DOB: String
profile pic url
userId
deviceId
device details
size: 0.5KB per user
read request network calls = 5 request per 10 min for active user * 5 Million
Influx DB storage estimations:
10 Min = 5KB
60 Min = (5*60)/10
1 Yr= (5*6)* 60 * 24 * 365
Use AWS glacier or Azure storage to keep least frequently used data.
App uses and performance during peak seasons like new year resolution, world health day etc
Define what APIs are expected from the system...
Defining the system data model early on will clarify how data will flow among different components of the system. Also you could draw an ER diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
You should identify enough components that are needed to solve the actual problem from end to end. Also remember to draw a block diagram using the diagramming tool to augment your design. If you are unfamiliar with the tool, you can simply describe your design to the chat bot and ask it to generate a starter diagram for you to modify...
Explain how the request flows from end to end in your high level design. Also you could draw a sequence diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your explanation...
Dig deeper into 2-3 components and explain in detail how they work. For example, how well does each component scale? Any relevant algorithm or data structure you like to use for a component? Also you could draw a diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
Explain any trade offs you have made and why you made certain tech choices...
Try to discuss as many failure scenarios/bottlenecks as possible.
What are some future improvements you would make? How would you mitigate the failure scenario(s) you described above?
