Amazon Exam BDS-C00 Topic 6 Question 93 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's BDS-C00 exam

Question #: 93
Topic #: 6

An organization has added a clickstream to their website to analyze traffic. The website is sending each page request with the PutRecord API call to an Amazon Kinesis stream by using the page name as the partition key. During peak spikes in website traffic, a support engineer notices many ProvisionedThroughputExcededException events in the application logs.

What should be done to resolve the issue in the MOST cost-effective way?

ACreate multiple Amazon Kinesis streams for page requests to increase the concurrency of the clickstream.

BIncrease the number of shards on the Kinesis stream to allow for more throughput to meet the peak spikes in traffic.

CModify the application to use on the Kinesis Producer Library to aggregate requests before sending them to the Kinesis stream.

DAttach more consumers to the Kinesis stream to process records in parallel, improving the performance on the stream.

I bet the support engineer is just sitting there, tapping their foot, waiting for someone to suggest throwing more money at the problem. 'Increase the shards, that'll do it!'

D) Attaching more consumers to the stream seems like a good way to distribute the load, but I'm not sure it's the 'most cost-effective' solution. Wouldn't that just mean more EC2 instances or Lambda functions running?

D) Attaching more consumers to the stream could be costly with additional EC2 instances or Lambda functions.

Hmm, I wonder if the website developers are just trying to break the Kinesis stream on purpose. 'Clickstream analysis' sounds like a fancy way of saying 'let's overwhelm the poor Kinesis stream!'

C) Using the Kinesis Producer Library to aggregate requests sounds like a smart idea. That way, you can batch the records and reduce the number of API calls, which should help avoid the throughput exceptions.

That's a good point, Sylvia. Option C could indeed help optimize the performance of the clickstream in a cost-effective way.

I disagree with Luisa. I believe option C is the most cost-effective solution. Using the Kinesis Producer Library to aggregate requests before sending them to the stream will help reduce the number of ProvisionedThroughputExceededException events.
