These are MCP questions of the kind Amazon actually asks — the patterns reported from Amazon's AI-engineering rounds, where design trade-offs, scale and failure modes matter as much as definitions. Treat this page as a mock interview: say every answer out loud before revealing it. If one surprises you, the lesson behind it is linked at the bottom.
