CLF-C02 Question 194
Single answerA gaming company needs a database solution to handle high volumes of concurrent user requests, provide low-latency responses, and scale dynamically during peak gaming hours without managing underlying infrastructure. Which AWS service is best suited for this requirement?
- A
Amazon DynamoDB
- B
Amazon RDS
- C
Amazon Redshift
- D
Amazon ElastiCache
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Amazon DynamoDB is the best choice for this scenario because it is a highly scalable, fully managed NoSQL database that provides low-latency performance for high volumes of concurrent requests. This makes it well-suited for applications like gaming, where performance and scalability are critical.
- A. Correct.
Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that provides low-latency performance, dynamic scaling, and is fully managed, making it ideal for high concurrent workloads like gaming applications.
- B. Incorrect.
Amazon RDS is a relational database service that is better suited for structured data and SQL-based applications. It is not optimized for high-latency and high-concurrency use cases like gaming.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service designed for large-scale analytics, not for low-latency, high-concurrency transactional workloads.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory caching service that can complement a database for low-latency data retrieval but is not a standalone database solution capable of meeting the requirements of this scenario.
