Hi all! I have a 45 minute screening interview at Facebook (Meta) next week for their Product Development Specialist position. Does anyone have any advice on what I can expect? In particular, I was told there would be a case study question at the end of the interview. Any advice or insight is appreciated!

Your question is way too broad as "Architect" means a lot of different things to different companies. I'd start by looking up positions you like and reviewing the requirements to match your skillset.
If you have experience, I suggest AWS SA associate, if you don't have experience, I suggest AWS SA professional. You have more to prove with less experience.
From there, look into positions to get into the door like cloud administrator and work your way up to architect.
I don’t have much experience so I’m currently preparing for AWS associate certification.
Frankly, in pretty much every organization, architect isn't an entry level role. You'll be hard pressed to find to find companies wanting to hire you as a solutions architect just because you have an AWS cert. It's not so much about technical knowledge vs just pure years of exposure and experience in the industry.
Do you have any real-world cloud engineering or devops experience? Or development experience?
If not those are roles you should be looking for next. Focus on understanding how the application stack you're servicing works, and understand how to optimize it with your cloud knowledge.
It's not a transition that's going to happen immediately. I don't think I've ever seen anyone go from IT Support to Architect directly. But if you're smart and ambitious the above roles could be good intermediates to build towards a architect role.
What cloud roles put someone on the path to solutions architect?
