"Highly professional, patient with our changes, and always maintaining clear communication with candidates. We look forward to continuing to work with you on all our future roles."
“Lupa has been an exceptional partner this year, deeply committed to understanding our unique needs and staying flexible to support us. We're excited to continue our collaboration into 2025.”

How do you optimize Docker images for production use?
Listen for strategies like using multistage builds, minimizing layers, choosing lightweight base images, caching dependencies, and removing unnecessary files. These demonstrate efficiency and attention to performance.
What experience do you have with Docker Compose?
Good candidates will mention using Docker Compose to define and manage multi-container applications. Look for familiarity with `docker-compose.yml` files and commands such as `docker-compose up` and `docker-compose down`.
How do you handle Docker networking?
Candidates should discuss different network types like bridge, host, and overlay. Look for an understanding of how to connect containers across networks and link them securely and effectively.
Have you ever troubleshot a Docker container issue? How did you resolve it?
Strong candidates will describe specific instances and tools they used, such as `docker logs`, `docker inspect`, and `docker exec`. Their process and problem-solving skills are key indicators here.
Can you describe a time when you had to troubleshoot a Docker container that wasn't behaving as expected?
Look for the candidate's ability to systematically approach and resolve the issue. Are they comfortable using logs, checking Docker configurations, and using debugging tools? This demonstrates their hands-on problem-solving skills.
