AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 21

Question

An ecommerce company wants to launch a one-deal-a-day website on AWS. Each day will feature exactly one product on sale for a period of 24 hours. The company wants to be able to handle millions of requests each hour with millisecond latency during peak hours. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. Correct: D. A fully serverless design — S3 + CloudFront for static content and API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB for the backend — handles millions of requests per hour at millisecond latency and scales automatically with the least to operate. A stores order data in S3, which isn't a transactional store. B (EC2 + RDS) and C (EKS + RDS) require managing servers or clusters and their scaling — more overhead for a spiky one-deal-a-day site.
