🎙️ Candidate Opening & Architectural Context
""When an interviewer asks how I troubleshoot this in AWS, I frame it through my hands-on production experience. When addressing this question, I walk the interviewer through our production incident runbook: isolating the blast radius, checking diagnostic logs and metrics, and applying a safe fix.""

Production Solution & Architecture
API Gateway or Kinesis Data Streams (ingestion) → Kinesis Firehose (buffer/batch) → S3 (raw data lake) → Glue crawler (schema discovery) → Athena (query) → QuickSight (visualization). For real-time processing: Kinesis Data Analytics or Lambda.
