Question

A company is developing a mobile game that streams score updates to a backend processor and then posts results on a leaderboard. A solutions architect needs to design a solution that can handle large traffic spikes, process the mobile game updates in order of receipt, and store the processed updates in a highly available database. The company also wants to minimize the management overhead required to maintain the solution. What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Push score updates to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Process the updates in Kinesis Data Streams with AWS Lambda. Store the processed updates in Amazon DynamoDB. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond latency and automatic scaling. Kinesis Data Streams ingests and processes high-volume real-time streaming data. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
