AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 108

Question

A company has an automobile sales website that stores its listings in a database on Amazon RDS. When an automobile is sold, the listing needs to be removed from the website and the data must be sent to multiple target systems. Which design should a solutions architect recommend?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Create an AWS Lambda function triggered when the database on Amazon RDS is updated to send the information to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue for the targets to consume. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queue that decouples components and absorbs traffic spikes.
