Tenancy Prefix Intent Index

Platform Engineer signal: trie + prefix counts in a multi-tenant quota context. This is a ProdMatch-owned platform engineer drill, framed as a April 2026 Dream11 Cloud Platform simulation, not a copied platform question.

Freshness

Product surface

multi-tenant quota

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

Question

Build a prefix index for multi-tenant quota. Support insert(term, weight), delete(term), and topPrefix(prefix) returning the best active term by weight then lexicographic order.

Input

A sequence of index operations.

Output

Return values for topPrefix operations.

Constraints

1 <= operations <= 200000
Total characters <= 1000000
Weights can change through reinsertion.

Concepts

build DAGs
tenant quotas
artifact caching
trie
prefix counts
autocomplete

insert pay 5, insert payout 7, topPrefix pa -> payout

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

Deletion is hard if nodes cache best child; use lazy invalidation or per-node heap when deletes are frequent.
Tie-break lexicographically for deterministic output.
