The comments in the original blog post suggests a gap of 60k with the offer. Your comment makes sense only if he was interviewing for a Principal Engineer position or something, but instead was offered an SDE-I position. Plus I'm prett

The article already includes a couple of "not queues" that they use for event stream processing, Kinesis being one of them. Kinesis consumers also maintain a watermark to keep track of how far they've read in a stream. Consid
