Design an Intelligent Incident Management System — System Design Interview Practice
Design an AIOps-powered incident management system that automatically detects incidents, correlates alerts, identifies affected services, suggests remediation, and learns from past incident resolutions. Work through the requirements, architecture trade-offs, and an interactive design review.
