How do you handle conflicts between team members?

Short answer: I believe in addressing conflicts early. Once, two developers disagreed on whether to use Redux or Context API for state management. I had a quick one-on-one with both, then brought them together to discuss pros/cons objectively. We agreed to prototype both approaches and make a data-driven decision. It defused tension and built mutual respect.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

Two ShopNest engineers disagree on Redis vs SQL cache. You facilitate with data (latency, cost, ops), pick a trial, and revisit with metrics.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
