Design an AI-Powered Alert Correlation and Noise Reduction System — System Design Interview Practice
Design a system that reduces alert fatigue by intelligently correlating, deduplicating, and suppressing redundant alerts, grouping related signals into actionable incidents. Work through the requirements, architecture trade-offs, and an interactive design review.
