Cevap: Amazon DynamoDB with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)

Cevap

Amazon DynamoDB with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)

The database solution using Amazon DynamoDB with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is correct because DAX is a fully managed, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that delivers microsecond response times for read-heavy workloads, satisfying the sub-millisecond latency requirement for session data.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the performance and latency requirements of the database.

The application requires sub-millisecond read latency for user session data.

Identifying the target latency helps narrow down database options to in-memory caching solutions.

Evaluate Amazon DynamoDB configurations for sub-millisecond read latency.

Standard DynamoDB latency is single-digit milliseconds, but adding DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) reduces read latency to microseconds.

DAX provides a fully managed, highly available in-memory cache built specifically for Amazon DynamoDB.

Cevap: Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache cluster to cache frequently accessed query results.; Create Amazon RDS read replicas to offload read traffic from the primary DB instance.

Cevap

Deploying an Amazon ElastiCache cluster to cache queries and creating Amazon RDS read replicas to offload read traffic.

To achieve sub-millisecond read latency, caching is required. Deploying an in-memory cache such as Amazon ElastiCache in front of the database stores the results of common queries, serving them extremely quickly. To offload the remaining read traffic from the primary database, Amazon RDS read replicas are used to distribute the read workload horizontally across one or more replica nodes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the performance requirements: the workload needs to handle high read volume and achieve sub-millisecond latency for frequently accessed data.

Caching is required for sub-millisecond latency, and read scaling is needed for the remaining database read traffic.

Standard relational databases cannot guarantee sub-millisecond latencies under high load, but an in-memory cache can.

Identify the caching layer options.

Amazon ElastiCache is the standard in-memory caching service for RDS that provides sub-millisecond retrieval speeds.

Caching frequently accessed data directly offloads the database and provides the required low latency.

Identify the database scaling options for the remaining read traffic.

Amazon RDS read replicas scale read throughput horizontally.

Read replicas allow the application to route read-only queries away from the primary database instance.

A ride-sharing platform needs to design an ingestion pipeline to process GPS location updates from its fleet of vehicles. During peak hours, the system receives approximately $8,000$ write requests per second, with an average payload size of $1.5 \text{ KB}$ per update. The GPS data must be processed in real-time with sub-second latency for immediate routing and ETA calculations. Additionally, the data must be transformed into Parquet format and stored in Amazon S3 for historical analysis. Which architecture meets these requirements with the highest performance and scalability?

Ingest the data using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams configured in On-Demand capacity mode. Process the stream in real-time with a custom consumer application for ETA calculations. Configure Amazon Data Firehose to consume from the same Kinesis stream, transform the data to Parquet format using an AWS Lambda function, and deliver it to an Amazon S3 Standard bucket.

Cevap: Ingest the data using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams configured in On-Demand capacity mode. Process the stream in real-time with a custom consumer application for ETA calculations. Configure Amazon Data Firehose to consume from the same Kinesis stream, transform the data to Parquet format using an AWS Lambda function, and deliver it to an Amazon S3 Standard bucket.

Cevap

The correct answer provides an ingestion layer (Amazon Kinesis Data Streams in On-Demand capacity mode) that dynamically scales to handle peak volumes of

8,000

records per second (

12 \text{ MB/s}

). It supports multi-consumer routing: a custom real-time application can query Kinesis directly to keep latency below one second for route modeling, while Amazon Data Firehose consumes the same stream asynchronously to convert payloads to Parquet using AWS Lambda and delivers them to Amazon S3 Standard for long-term historical query optimization.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the peak throughput requirements of the system.

The peak ingestion rate is

8,000

records per second with a payload of

1.5 \text{ KB}

per record, which equates to

12 \text{ MB/s}

of write throughput (

8,000 \times 1.5 \text{ KB} = 12,000 \text{ KB/s}

Understanding the numerical throughput bounds helps in selecting the appropriate stream capacity model.

Choose the optimal stream capacity configuration.

Select Kinesis Data Streams in On-Demand capacity mode, which dynamically scales to accommodate the required

12 \text{ MB/s}

and

8,000

write requests per second.

Using a fixed number of provisioned shards (such as

5

shards, which only support up to

5 \text{ MB/s}

and

5,000

records/sec) would lead to write throttling under peak conditions.

Select the consumer patterns for real-time processing and storage delivery.

Connect a real-time consumer application directly to Kinesis Data Streams to handle sub-second latency routing calculations. Simultaneously, attach Amazon Data Firehose to the same stream to run format conversion to Parquet via AWS Lambda, saving the outputs in Amazon S3 Standard.

Kinesis Data Streams allows multiple consumers to process the same stream in parallel, accommodating both real-time analytical calculations and near-real-time batch transformation workflows.

A company hosts its primary web application behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in the us-east-1 Region. The company wants to set up a simple disaster recovery strategy where public DNS traffic is automatically redirected to a static error page hosted on an Amazon S3 bucket in the us-west-2 Region if the primary application becomes unavailable. Which Amazon Route 53 routing configuration should a solutions architect implement to meet these requirements?

Configure Route 53 failover routing. Create a primary failover record pointing to the ALB with health checks enabled, and a secondary failover record pointing to the S3 bucket endpoint.

Cevap: Configure Route 53 failover routing. Create a primary failover record pointing to the ALB with health checks enabled, and a secondary failover record pointing to the S3 bucket endpoint.

Cevap

Configure Route 53 failover routing by creating a primary failover record pointing to the ALB with health checks enabled, and a secondary failover record pointing to the S3 bucket endpoint.

The correct answer correctly identifies that a failover routing policy should be used for active-passive disaster recovery. By setting the Application Load Balancer as the primary endpoint and enabling health checks, Route 53 will route traffic to the primary endpoint as long as it is healthy. If the health checks fail, Route 53 automatically redirects incoming DNS queries to the secondary endpoint, which is the Amazon S3 static website.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Define the primary and secondary roles for the endpoints.

The Application Load Balancer (ALB) is designated as the primary active resource, and the Amazon S3 bucket static website endpoint is designated as the secondary passive resource.

This establishes the active-passive disaster recovery structure required by the business goal.

Associate health checks with the primary record.

Route 53 monitors the health of the primary ALB.

Route 53 requires health check status to determine when to trigger a failover from the primary resource to the secondary resource.

Configure the routing policy in Route 53.

Create a primary failover alias record pointing to the ALB and a secondary failover alias record pointing to the S3 status/error page.

Failover routing directs traffic to the primary resource when healthy and automatically switches to the secondary resource when the primary fails health checks.

A financial services company has a hybrid architecture where their on-premises trading application must securely stream data feeds to a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in a VPC. The stream requires a sustained throughput of $2\text{ Gbps}$ with minimal latency. Due to tight timelines, they must leverage their existing high-bandwidth internet connection rather than waiting to provision a dedicated fiber line. Additionally, they must ensure the return traffic is allowed dynamically while maintaining strict stateful traffic filtering. Which network architecture should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Deploy a single Site-to-Site VPN connection and configure Amazon Route 53 with latency-based routing to dynamically load balance the trading traffic across the VPN tunnels to optimize performance.

Cevap: Deploy an AWS Transit Gateway and establish multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing. Configure EC2 security groups to allow the trading traffic, relying on their stateful nature to permit return traffic automatically.

Cevap

Deploy an AWS Transit Gateway with multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections using Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing, and configure stateful EC2 security groups.

The correct option is the one recommending AWS Transit Gateway with multiple VPN connections and ECMP routing. AWS Site-to-Site VPN tunnels have a hard throughput limit of

1.25\text{ Gbps}

. To scale bandwidth over existing internet connections, multiple VPN connections can be attached to an AWS Transit Gateway with ECMP enabled, allowing traffic to be distributed across up to 50 paths. Utilizing security groups ensures stateful filtering, which automatically allows dynamic return traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Evaluate the throughput requirement against VPN tunnel limitations.

The target is

2\text{ Gbps}

, which exceeds the

1.25\text{ Gbps}

maximum limit of a single AWS VPN tunnel.

Identifying the single tunnel bottleneck determines that a multi-tunnel or alternative path is required.

Select the scaling mechanism to aggregate VPN throughput over the internet.

Combine multiple VPN connections using AWS Transit Gateway with Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing.

ECMP on Transit Gateway allows active-active load balancing across multiple tunnels, enabling total throughput to scale past

1.25\text{ Gbps}

Address the traffic filtering and dynamic return traffic requirement.

Utilize stateful EC2 security groups to filter the traffic.

Security groups are stateful and automatically track connections to allow dynamic return traffic, whereas Network ACLs are stateless and would block return traffic unless a broad range of ports is manually opened.

An IoT telemetry platform receives status updates from $500,000$ devices, with each device sending an update every $10$ seconds. A solutions architect is designing an Amazon DynamoDB table to store these updates. The system must support a write volume of $50,000$ writes per second with sub-millisecond latency. The primary query pattern is to retrieve all status updates for a specific day, sorted by the recording timestamp, with a target latency of under $100$ milliseconds.

To meet these requirements, the architect initially designs the table with a partition key of `status_date` (formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`) and a sort key of `timestamp#device_id`. During load testing, the application experiences write throttling and receives `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException` errors, even though the total provisioned Write Capacity Units (WCUs) are set high enough to handle the workload.

Which database design modification will resolve this bottleneck while meeting the performance and query requirements?

Redesign the table to use `device_id` as the partition key and `timestamp` as the sort key. Create a Global Secondary Index (GSI) with a partition key of `status_date_shard` (combining the date with a calculated hash prefix between

0

and

49

) and a sort key of `timestamp`. Configure the application to query all

50

GSI shards in parallel for a given date and merge the results.

Redesign the table to use `device_id` as the partition key and `timestamp` as the sort key. Create a Global Secondary Index (GSI) with a partition key of `status_date` and a sort key of `timestamp`. Configure the application to query the GSI to retrieve the daily data.

Enable Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) for the table, and update the application to write all status updates through the DAX cluster using a write-through caching strategy.

Migrate the database to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. To distribute the write workload and prevent bottlenecks on the primary instance, configure the application to send write operations to the RDS Read Replicas, which will automatically sync and failover if the primary instance is overloaded.

Cevap: Redesign the table to use `device_id` as the partition key and `timestamp` as the sort key. Create a Global Secondary Index (GSI) with a partition key of `status_date_shard` (combining the date with a calculated hash prefix between $0$ and $49$ ) and a sort key of `timestamp`. Configure the application to query all $50$ GSI shards in parallel for a given date and merge the results.

Cevap

Redesign the table to use `device_id` as the partition key and `timestamp` as the sort key, and create a Global Secondary Index (GSI) with a partition key of `status_date_shard` (using a calculated hash prefix between

0

and

49

) and a sort key of `timestamp`, querying all

50

shards in parallel.

The correct answer resolves the bottleneck by distributing base table writes using a high-cardinality partition key (`device_id`) and distributing GSI writes using a sharded partition key (`status_date_shard`). By splitting the GSI partition key into

50

shards, the write rate to any single GSI partition is reduced to

1,000

writes per second, which matches the physical partition throughput limit of DynamoDB. The application can retrieve all data for a specific day by running

50

parallel queries and combining the results.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the write rate and partition limits.

The application requires

50,000

writes per second. A single DynamoDB partition can support a maximum of

1,000

Write Capacity Units (WCUs) per second. Using `status_date` (which is the same for all writes on a given day) as the partition key concentrates all

50,000

writes on a single partition, exceeding the limit by

50

times.

To understand the physical limits causing the ProvisionedThroughputExceededException.

Evaluate the base table partition key design.

Changing the base table partition key to `device_id` distributes the

50,000

writes across

500,000

unique partitions. This results in

0.1

writes per second per partition, which is well below the

1,000

WCU per-partition limit.

To ensure the base table writes are highly distributed and do not cause throttling.

Evaluate the impact of the Global Secondary Index (GSI) partition key.

If a GSI is created with `status_date` as the partition key, all writes are copied to a single GSI partition. When a GSI partition is throttled, the throttling backpressures the base table, causing the write requests on the base table to fail.

To avoid introducing a downstream write bottleneck via the GSI.

Implement write sharding (synthetic keys) on the GSI.

By appending a calculated hash prefix or random suffix from

0

49

to the `status_date`, the GSI partition key is split into

50

distinct keys (e.g., `2026-07-14_0` to `2026-07-14_49`). The

50,000

writes are evenly distributed, resulting in

1,000

writes per second per shard, which is within the

1,000

WCU partition limit.

To satisfy both the high-throughput write requirement and the ability to query all data for a specific day.

Cevap

To meet these requirements, the Solutions Architect should create an Amazon CloudFront distribution to serve the static assets from the S3 bucket, and deploy an Amazon ElastiCache cluster to cache frequently accessed database query results from the RDS database.

The correct strategy combines Amazon CloudFront to cache static files (images, audio) at edge locations close to users and Amazon ElastiCache to cache database queries, reducing latency and reducing the load on the Amazon RDS origin database.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the performance bottlenecks for both the static and dynamic components of the application.

Static assets (images/audio) in S3 suffer from latency when accessed globally, and the RDS database suffers from performance degradation due to high read query volume.

Resolving both issues requires separate caching strategies targeted at different layers (CDN caching for S3 static files, in-memory caching for database queries).

Address static asset latency by implementing an edge content delivery network.

Amazon CloudFront is selected to cache static S3 content at global edge locations.

This reduces response latency for global users and offloads get requests from the S3 origin.

Address database query performance by deploying an in-memory cache.

Amazon ElastiCache is selected to store slow, frequent database query results.

In-memory query caching prevents frequent read requests from reaching the Amazon RDS instance directly, optimizing response times.

When origin failover is enabled, CloudFront automatically routes requests to the secondary origin (the backup S3 bucket) if the primary origin (the primary S3 bucket) returns configured error codes (such as 500, 502, 503, or 504).

Adım Adım Çözüm

Set up a content delivery network to reduce latency for global users by caching content at edge locations close to them.

An Amazon CloudFront distribution is deployed with caching behaviors configured for the static assets.

CloudFront caches content at edge locations, significantly reducing latency compared to direct S3 access.

Establish origin-level resiliency to protect against S3 bucket unavailability or service issues.

An origin group is configured in CloudFront, containing the primary S3 bucket as the primary origin and the backup S3 bucket as the secondary origin.

An origin group allows the mapping of multiple origins to a single distribution behavior for failover purposes.

Configure the automatic transition rules between the primary and secondary origins.

Origin failover is enabled with criteria pointing to specific 5xx HTTP error status codes.

This guarantees that if the primary S3 bucket is unavailable and returns an error code, CloudFront automatically routes the request to the backup S3 bucket without any operational overhead.

Cevap: Retain the logs in Amazon S3 Standard for the entire 14 days, and then delete them using an S3 Lifecycle expiration rule.

Cevap

Retain the logs in Amazon S3 Standard for the entire 14 days, and then delete them using an S3 Lifecycle expiration rule.

Keeping the logs in Amazon S3 Standard and deleting them after 14 days is the most cost-effective option. Amazon S3 Standard-IA has a minimum storage duration charge of 30 days. Storing data in S3 Standard for 14 days costs less per gigabyte than paying for the 30-day minimum duration of S3 Standard-IA, and it avoids the transition request costs associated with moving data to S3 Standard-IA.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine the data retention and access needs.

The logs are accessed frequently for 14 days and then deleted.

This establishes that the files are short-lived (14 days) and need active, frequent access during this time.

Evaluate S3 Standard-IA rules and cost impact.

Amazon S3 Standard-IA has a minimum storage duration charge of 30 days.

If files are transitioned to S3 Standard-IA and deleted after 14 days, AWS will still charge for a full 30 days of storage under that tier.

Compare storage costs between Standard and Standard-IA.

Storing data in S3 Standard for 14 days costs approximately

0.0107 per GB (assuming

0.023/GB/month), whereas S3 Standard-IA for the 30-day minimum costs $0.0125 per GB (excluding transition request charges).

Because the Standard-IA minimum storage charge exceeds the cost of storing the data in S3 Standard for the actual 14 days, keeping the data in S3 Standard is the cheaper and simpler option.

Cevap: Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) and configure it to use Elastic Throughput mode.; Configure the Amazon ECS task definitions to mount the Amazon EFS volume using the EFS volume configuration.

Cevap

The solutions architect should create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) configured with Elastic Throughput mode, and mount the Amazon EFS volume inside the Amazon ECS task definitions.

The requirements dictate concurrent, POSIX-compliant read and write access across three Availability Zones with spiky throughput needs. Amazon EFS provides serverless, highly available, shared file systems that can be concurrently mounted by hundreds of container tasks. Configuring it with Elastic Throughput mode allows the throughput to scale dynamically up to

600 \text{ MB/s}

without pre-provisioning capacity. Standard ECS task configurations natively support mounting EFS volumes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze storage needs

Identified requirements for POSIX-compliant shared file storage, high parallel access (hundreds of containers), cross-AZ availability (three Availability Zones), and dynamic throughput scale up to

600 \text{ MB/s}

This rules out single-instance block storage solutions (EBS) and non-POSIX object stores (S3).

Select the appropriate storage service and performance mode

Choose Amazon EFS, which natively supports POSIX compliance, simultaneous multi-AZ access, and select Elastic Throughput mode to dynamically scale throughput to

600 \text{ MB/s}

Elastic Throughput mode automatically adjusts the filesystem's throughput capabilities to handle the application's peak workloads.

Configure task integration

Reference the Amazon EFS volume configuration within the ECS task definition so container tasks can mount the filesystem.

This allows ECS tasks running across any container instance or Fargate host to easily access the shared file system directory.

Cevap: Create latency-based routing records in Route 53 that point to the endpoints in each Region.; Associate a Route 53 health check with each latency record to monitor endpoint availability.

Cevap

To achieve low latency and high availability, create latency-based routing records in Route 53 for both Regions and associate each record with a Route 53 health check.

To route users to the closest Region to minimize latency, latency-based routing must be used. To ensure that traffic is not routed to an unhealthy Region, Route 53 health checks must be associated with the routing records so that Route 53 can automatically perform DNS failover when an endpoint becomes unhealthy.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Select the appropriate routing policy for minimizing user latency.

Create Route 53 latency-based routing records pointing to endpoints in both us-east-1 and eu-west-1.

Latency-based routing measures round-trip time from the user to the AWS Regions and routes traffic to the Region with the lowest latency.

Configure health checks to ensure high availability.

Associate a Route 53 health check with each latency record.

If an endpoint in one Region fails, Route 53 detects the failure via the health check and stops returning that record, routing traffic to the healthy Region instead.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the workload characteristics of the ECS orchestration worker.

The orchestration worker runs continuously (

A maritime logistics enterprise is designing a highly resilient storage architecture for its shipping manifest processing platform. The platform must store PDF manifest files that are frequently accessed by multiple applications during the first 30 days. To comply with international shipping regulations, these manifests must be kept for 5 years and must be retrievable within 5 minutes in the event of an audit.

Cevap

Store the manifests in Amazon S3 Standard, configure S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) with S3 Replication Time Control (S3 RTC) enabled, and use an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition objects to Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 30 days with Expedited retrievals for audits.

The correct solution uses Amazon S3 Standard combined with Cross-Region Replication (CRR) and S3 Replication Time Control (S3 RTC). S3 RTC guarantees that 99% of objects replicate within 15 minutes, directly fulfilling the 15-minute RPO. For the 5-year retention requirement, an S3 Lifecycle policy automates the transition to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 30 days. To meet the 5-minute audit retrieval requirement, Expedited retrievals are used, which typically complete within 1 to 5 minutes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Select the correct replication mechanism to meet the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) constraint.

Amazon S3 Replication Time Control (S3 RTC) replicates 99% of objects within 15 minutes, satisfying the 15-minute RPO.

Standard Cross-Region Replication (CRR) does not provide a replication time guarantee, meaning replication could take longer than the 15-minute RPO threshold.

Choose the appropriate archival storage tier that satisfies the retrieval speed requirement.

Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval with Expedited retrievals provides access to archives within 1 to 5 minutes.

Standard retrievals from Glacier take 3 to 5 hours, which violates the audit retrieval requirement of less than 5 minutes.

Integrate S3 Lifecycle rules to automate cost-efficient and resilient transition.

Cevap

The correct architecture requires transitioning the video assets prefix to Amazon S3 Standard-IA after 15 days, and aggregating the telemetry logs into larger archive files (greater than 128 KB) before uploading them to Amazon S3 and transitioning them to Amazon S3 Standard-IA after 10 days.

The correct strategy uses S3 Standard-IA for large objects (video assets) with a transition window that satisfies the 30-day minimum storage duration (transition at day 15, delete at day 45). For small files (telemetry logs), aggregating them prior to upload avoids the 128 KB minimum capacity charge penalty when they are transitioned to S3 Standard-IA after 10 days.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the lifecycle constraints for the video assets under the `/assets/` prefix.

The files average

85\text{ MB}

(greater than the

128\text{ KB}

S3 Standard-IA limit). If transitioned after

15\text{ days}

and deleted at

45\text{ days}

, the total time spent in S3 Standard-IA is

45 - 15 = 30\text{ days}

. This matches the 30-day minimum duration requirement exactly.

Ensures that transitioning to S3 Standard-IA maximizes cost savings without incurring early transition/deletion fees.

Evaluate the storage tiering limitations for the telemetry logs under the `/telemetry/` prefix.

The files are very small (

12\text{ KB}

). Transitioning individual

12\text{ KB}

files to S3 Standard-IA or S3 One Zone-IA causes them to be billed at the

128\text{ KB}

minimum storage size, which increases the billing volume by more than 10 times.

Avoids the S3 Standard-IA and S3 One Zone-IA minimum storage charge size penalty.

Determine the optimal architectural pattern for handling high volumes of small files in S3.

Aggregating the telemetry logs into archives larger than

128\text{ KB}

before upload avoids the size penalty. Once aggregated and uploaded, transitioning them after

10\text{ days}

to S3 Standard-IA for the remaining

110\text{ days}

(out of

120\text{ days}

) is highly cost-effective and avoids early deletion penalties.

Allows small-file data sets to benefit from lower-tier storage rates by consolidating them into larger objects, reducing both storage penalties and request fees.

Cevap: Create a Route 53 failover routing policy. Configure a primary alias record pointing to the ALB with target health evaluation enabled, and a secondary alias record pointing to the S3 bucket.

Cevap

Create a Route 53 failover routing policy. Configure a primary alias record pointing to the ALB with target health evaluation enabled, and a secondary alias record pointing to the S3 bucket.

The correct option is the one that recommends configuring a Route 53 failover routing policy with a primary alias record pointing to the ALB (health evaluation enabled) and a secondary alias record pointing to the S3 bucket. Failover routing allows Route 53 to route traffic to the primary resource when it is healthy, and switch to the secondary resource when the primary is unhealthy. Setting 'Evaluate Target Health' to Yes on the alias record enables Route 53 to automatically check the health of the ALB.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the high availability pattern required.

The requirement is active-passive disaster recovery where traffic automatically fails over from a primary application load balancer to a backup static S3 bucket.

This establishes that the Route 53 failover routing policy is the correct choice.

Configure the primary endpoint routing and health checks.

Configure a primary failover record as an Alias record pointing to the ALB with 'Evaluate Target Health' enabled.

Evaluating target health ensures that Route 53 automatically monitors the health of the ALB without needing a custom Route 53 health check.

Configure the secondary endpoint routing.

Configure a secondary failover record pointing to the S3 static website endpoint.

This provides the failover destination where Route 53 will route traffic when the primary endpoint is determined to be unhealthy.

Anahtar Kavram

Route 53 active-passive failover routing policy dynamically routes traffic to a secondary standby endpoint when the primary endpoint becomes unhealthy, determined via target health evaluation.

An inventory management application for a retail chain stores real-time stock levels in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The table schema uses `StoreID` as the partition key and `ItemSKU` as the sort key. During a promotional event, a few flagship stores experience a sudden, massive surge in sales, resulting in write requests to those specific store partition keys exceeding $2,500$ writes per second. The application encounters `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException` errors, although the table's total provisioned write capacity is largely underutilized. Which strategy should a solutions architect implement to resolve this database performance bottleneck with minimal impact on latency?

Enable DynamoDB Auto Scaling for the table and switch the capacity mode to On-Demand to automatically provision additional capacity during spikes.

Append a calculated hash or a random integer suffix to the StoreID partition key during write operations, and update the application query logic to read across the sharded partition keys.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Append a calculated hash or a random integer suffix to the StoreID partition key during write operations, and update the application query logic to read across the sharded partition keys.

Cevap

Adjust the write path to append a calculated hash or a random integer suffix to the partition key (write sharding), and query across the sharded keys to distribute the load.

The correct option is to implement write sharding by appending a suffix to the partition key. A single partition key in DynamoDB can only support up to

1,000

WCUs per second. By appending a suffix (e.g., `StoreID_1`, `StoreID_2`), the writes for a single store are distributed across different physical partitions, resolving the hot partition throttling.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the cause of the performance degradation.

Throttling occurs because writes to a single partition key value (a specific flagship `StoreID`) exceed

2,500

writes per second, which violates DynamoDB's physical limit of

1,000

Write Capacity Units (WCUs) per second per partition.

Even if the overall table has sufficient capacity, a single hot partition key cannot exceed the single-partition limit.

Evaluate the impact of Global Secondary Indexes (GSIs).

Moving the hot key to a GSI does not solve the issue, as GSI writes will still be throttled and cause backpressure on the base table.

DynamoDB tables require successful GSI replication to avoid throttling the base table writes.

Evaluate capacity mode adjustments.

Switching to On-Demand capacity or enabling Auto Scaling increases total table limits but does not lift the physical single-partition throughput limit.

The partition-level capacity limit is a physical architectural boundary in DynamoDB.

Formulate a sharding strategy.

Add a suffix (e.g., `StoreID_1` to `StoreID_N`) to the partition key during writes to distribute the data across multiple partitions, and query across all suffixes.

This spreads the write workload of a single store across multiple partitions, allowing throughput to scale linearly.
