HTTP Server and Linux Internals

Role: Production Engineer

Frequency: Reported

Design an HTTP server, then discuss strace and low-level system components.

The source did not preserve the server requirements, scale, API, or exact follow-up questions.

An older preparation artifact attached to the same discussion covered Linux boot, PID 1, swap, the read system call, file descriptors, dentries, inodes, pages, blocks, signals, and BIOS topics. Those topics are useful context but were not confirmed as the exact 2026 script.
