Exam AWS Certified Developer Associate topic 1 question 88 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Developer Associate
Question #: 88
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Developer Associate Questions]

A developer is designing a serverless application for an ecommerce website. An Amazon API Gateway API exposes AWS Lambda functions for billing, payment, and user operations. The website features shopping carts for the users. The shopping carts must be stored for extended periods of time and will be retrieved frequently by the front-end application.
The load on the application will vary significantly based on the time of day and the promotional sales that are offered on the website. The application must be able to scale automatically to meet these changing demands.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Store the data objects on an Amazon RDS DB instance. Cache the data objects in memory by using Amazon ElastiCache.
  • B. Store the data objects on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. Use session affinity (sticky sessions) for each user's shopping cart.
  • C. Store the data objects in Amazon S3 buckets. Cache the data objects by using Amazon CloudFront with the maximum TTL.
  • D. Store the data objects in Amazon DynamoDB tables. Cache the data objects by using DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX).

scale automatically to meet these changing demands. = means DynamoDB

Right Answer, Wrong Reason! As stated in the link below, AWS RDS does support auto-scaling! It's just that unlike with other services such as DynamoDB, RDS does not automatically do auto-scaling. The user has to go into AWS RDS and enable/configure auto-scaling in order for it to work! Link: https://blog.awsfundamentals.com/unlocking-the-benefits-of-aws-rds-scaling The real reason why D is correct is because of what KT_Yu has written - the question states that the developer is building a SERVERLESS application. DynamoDB is serverless! RDS is not!

D) Correct - DynamoDB more preferable than RDS in terms of scaling

A) Eliminated - RDS requires manual or automated scaling which might not handle unpredictable load spikes as efficiently as a serverless database like DynamoDB. C) Eliminated - CloudFront can cache objects, but it's optimized for static assets like images or files rather than dynamic data like shopping carts.

The chioce is between A and D (for sure B and C should not be considered). Since it is required serveless, highly availability and automatic scale, I will go for D

A - Dynamo isn't really a good option for these kinds of relationship-based schemas... the key i think with this one its that you have users - they have shopping carts - they have orders, etc ... relationships. Dynamo good for column store and non-relational use cases... so RDS for me!

D Option D is the best option because it suggests storing the data objects in Amazon DynamoDB tables, which is a highly scalable and elastic NoSQL database service. Caching can be achieved by using DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX), which provides a highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB. This solution would allow the developer to focus on the application logic rather than managing infrastructure, and would provide high availability and automatic scaling for the application.

Option A suggests storing the shopping cart data in an Amazon RDS DB instance, which is a good option for many applications, but may not be the best choice for an ecommerce website with highly variable traffic demands. Amazon RDS can auto-scale, but it is not as elastic as Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon S3. Also, caching data in Amazon ElastiCache would require additional management and could potentially slow down the application.

Option B suggests storing the data on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer with session affinity (sticky sessions). This solution would require the developer to manage the EC2 instances and would not be as elastic as a serverless solution like Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon S3. Additionally, the developer would need to handle the storage of session data, which can be difficult to scale and manage in a distributed system.

Option C suggests storing the data objects in Amazon S3 buckets and caching them using Amazon CloudFront. This solution could work, but the developer would need to manage the retrieval and updating of the data objects, as well as the caching behavior of Amazon CloudFront. Additionally, Amazon S3 has eventual consistency, so the application may not always see the most up-to-date version of the data.

D Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for Amazon DynamoDB that delivers up to a 10 times performance improvement—from milliseconds to microseconds—even at millions of requests per second.

I go for A as I'm not sure about whether DAX can store session cache of the shopping cart in D. But I'm sure ElastiCache can cache user session and RDS can be auto-scaled from now
