Full Stack Developer signal: line sweep + interval merge in a merchant onboarding context. This is a ProdMatch-owned full stack engineer drill, framed as a May 2026 Myntra Growth Platform simulation, not a copied platform question.

Product surface

merchant onboarding

ProdMatch interview simulation based on product-team patterns; not a claim of a real company question.

Question

Plan capacity for merchant onboarding. Given reservation intervals with requested units, return the minimum capacity needed and all time ranges where capacity crosses a critical threshold.

Input

Intervals [start, end, units] and threshold.

Output

Peak capacity and merged high-pressure intervals.

Constraints

1 <= intervals.length <= 200000
Intervals are half-open: [start, end).
Timestamps fit in signed 32-bit integers.

Concepts

workflow graphs
API pagination
cache invalidation
line sweep
interval merge
capacity planning

[[1,4,3],[2,5,4]], threshold=6 -> peak=7, hot=[[2,4]]

Approach

Try framing your own approach first. The 30 seconds you think before peeking is where learning happens.

Clean Solution

Reveal the approach first.

Common Mistakes

Be explicit about whether touching endpoints overlap.
