In your opinion, what is meant by high availability (HA)?
The back end developer position involves many technical terms and acronyms specific to the job. The interviewer is likely to ask you about these and define them or provide your perspective on what they mean. This is especially important for a role that involves developing high-availability websites. The purpose behind this question is to confirm that your definition of high availability is the same as the one their organization uses.
"In my opinion, high availability means being able to access the web site at any time from any location using any type of device. I always strive to attain five-nines availability for the websites I develop. This requires me to work with the systems and network engineering teams to ensure that the hardware is functioning properly, network communications allow access to the website, and that the software is backed up or has redundant functionality."
