Senior interviews often pair coding with a design round — walk through these with trade-offs and C# snippets.

Model answers to practise out loud

How would you design a multi-tenant SaaS API in .NET?

  • Tenant resolution from JWT claim — never trust client-supplied tenant header alone
  • EF Core global query filters + composite indexes (TenantId, ...)
  • PostgreSQL RLS as defence in depth
  • Cache keys prefixed with tenant id
  • Background jobs carry explicit TenantId in payload

How do you guarantee payment idempotency without distributed transactions?

  • Idempotency-Key header stored in DB with response snapshot
  • Local transaction: update order + insert outbox event
  • Outbox relay publishes after commit — at-least-once delivery
  • Idempotent consumers dedupe by messageId
  • Compensating saga on failure (release inventory)

When is EF Core the wrong tool?

  • High-throughput append-only ingestion — Dapper or COPY
  • Complex reporting queries — hand-tuned SQL
  • CQRS read side — separate read model, no change tracking
  • Keep EF for command/write path with domain logic
