How would you handle a practical scenario involving Stored Procedures in SQL Server?

For a practical scenario involving Stored Procedures, I would first clarify the business goal, scale, constraints, and the failure or quality attribute being tested. Stored procedures encapsulate SQL operations behind a named database routine. The scenario centers on a reporting endpoint needs a complex aggregation; explain when a stored procedure is preferable to ORM-generated SQL and what tradeoffs you would consider. I would then compare the main alternatives and tradeoffs, identify likely failure modes, and explain how I would validate the solution through testing, observability, security controls, and recovery or rollback planning.
