Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 1 Question 66 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam

Question #: 66
Topic #: 1

A utility company collects usage data from smart meters every 5 minutes. Data is sent to API Gateway, processed by Lambda, and stored in DynamoDB. As usage increased, Lambda durations increased and DynamoDB PUTs failed with ProvisionedThroughputExceededException. Lambda also experiences TooManyRequestsException errors.

Which combination of changes will resolve these issues? (Select TWO.)

AIncrease the write capacity units to the DynamoDB table.

BIncrease the memory available to the Lambda functions.

CIncrease the payload size from the smart meters.

DStream the data into an Amazon Kinesis data stream from API Gateway and process the data in batches.

ECollect data in an Amazon SQS FIFO queue, which triggers a Lambda function to process each message.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

A is correct because write throttling on DynamoDB means WCU (write capacity units) are insufficient. Increasing them will reduce the error rate.

D is correct because introducing Kinesis allows for efficient, high-throughput ingestion and batch processing, reducing the number of Lambda invocations and overall load.
