Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 3 Question 51 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam
Question #: 51
Topic #: 3
[All SAP-C02 Questions]

A company is running a serverless ecommerce application on AWS. The application uses Amazon API Gateway to invoke AWS Lambda Java functions. The Lambda functions connect to an Amazon RDS for MySQL database to store data.

During a recent sale event, a sudden increase in web traffic resulted in poor API performance and database connection failures. The company needs to implement a solution to minimize the latency for the Lambda functions and to support bursts in traffic.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of change to the application?

I practiced a similar question where updating Lambda to open connections outside the handler was suggested, but it seems like a bigger change than using RDS Proxy.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Creating an RDS Proxy and using Secrets Manager seems like the most straightforward way to address the performance and scalability issues.

Gotta love those sudden 'sale events' that bring down the whole system. Wish I could get a bonus for that kind of performance.

A: B) Create an RDS Proxy endpoint for the database. Store database secrets in AWS Secrets Manager. Set up the required 1AM permissions. Update the Lambda functions to connect to the RDS Proxy endpoint. Increase the provisioned concurrency for the Lambda functions.

Haha, 'reserved concurrency' for Lambda? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'put a cap on it'.

Hold up, why not just increase the max_connections on the RDS instance? Seems like a quick fix to me.
