Interview question - You transfer money via UPI. The success screen appears in under 2 seconds. But when you check your bank balance, it sometimes updates after 10–30 seconds. Why is the confirmation faster than the balance update?

Interview question - You open Google Maps during peak hour. The traffic colors (red/orange/green) keep changing every few seconds even though you haven’t moved. How does the system update traffic for millions of users in near real-time?

Interview question - You post a Story on Instagram. Your close friends see it within 1–2 seconds. Some other followers see it after 10–15 seconds. Why is the same Story delivered at different speeds to different people?
