What DE‑PRO emphasizes (in one paragraph)
Expect scenario questions that test production instincts: incremental ingestion, streaming correctness (watermarks, late data, checkpointing), Delta Live Tables pipeline design, and performance trade-offs (shuffle, skew, file layout, caching). The “best” answers are usually the ones that are observable, recoverable, and safe to operate.
