Audit log writer

System designStorage & CDNEntry–Mid~25 min

Design an audit-log writer for an internal admin tool. Whenever an admin changes something important (edits a user, deletes a record, changes a permission), you need to record who did what, to which entity, and when — in a way that can be reviewed later and not quietly altered. Write volume is low to moderate; reads are occasional, usually filtered by actor or by entity. Describe the data model and how you guarantee entries aren't lost or tampered with.

What a strong answer looks like

Clarify scale and constraints first. Propose a clean component breakdown, then go deep on the hard parts (data model, bottlenecks, consistency, failure modes) and name the trade-offs you are making.

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
