The interviewer just wanted to dive into the questions of latency & the technical fast.
I then said let's separate out server vs client. On server side, cannot have australian users hitting california servers for data. So must be some sort of global availability of caching. And ensure rapid read out of that cache so something like a redis solution would help.

Framework:
