Question44: A developer needs to migrate an online retail application to AWS to handle an anticipated increase in traffic.
The application currently runs on two servers: one server for the web application and another server for the database. The web server renders webpages and manages session state in memory. The database server hosts a MySQL database that contains order details. When traffic to the application is heavy, the memory usage for the web server approaches 100% and the application slows down considerably.

Which actions should the developer take to increase the resiliency of the application when the batch response includes values in UnprocessedKeys? (Choose two.)

Question91: A developer has observed an increase in bugs in the AWS Lambda functions that a development team has deployed in its Node is application. To minimize these bugs, the developer wants to impendent automated testing of Lambda functions in an environment that Closely simulates the Lambda environment.
The developer needs to give other developers the ability to run the tests locally. The developer also needs to integrate the tests into the team's continuous integration and continuous delivery (Ct/CO) pipeline before the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS COK) deployment.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Question92: A company built an online event platform For each event the company organizes quizzes and generates leaderboards that are based on the quiz scores. The company stores the leaderboard data in Amazon DynamoDB and retains the data for 30 days after an event is complete The company then uses a scheduled job to delete the old leaderboard data The DynamoDB table is configured with a fixed write capacity. During the months when many events occur, the DynamoDB write API requests are throttled when the scheduled delete job runs.
A developer must create a long-term solution that deletes the old leaderboard data and optimizes write throughput Which solution meets these requirements?

Question93: A company has an existing application that has hardcoded database credentials A developer needs to modify the existing application The application is deployed in two AWS Regions with an active-passive failover configuration to meet company's disaster recovery strategy The developer needs a solution to store the credentials outside the code. The solution must comply With the company's disaster recovery strategy Which solution Will meet these requirements in the MOST secure way?

Question94: A developer has created an AWS Lambda function that is written in Python. The Lambda function reads data from objects in Amazon S3 and writes data to an Amazon DynamoDB table. The function is successfully invoked from an S3 event notification when an object is created. However, the function fails when it attempts to write to the DynamoDB table.
What is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

Question95: A developer maintains a critical business application that uses Amazon DynamoDB as the primary data store The DynamoDB table contains millions of documents and receives 30-60 requests each minute The developer needs to perform processing in near-real time on the documents when they are added or updated in the DynamoDB table How can the developer implement this feature with the LEAST amount of change to the existing application code?

Question96: A developer is troubleshooting an application in an integration environment. In the application, an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue consumes messages and then an AWS Lambda function processes the messages. The Lambda function transforms the messages and makes an API call to a third-party service.
There has been an increase in application usage. The third-party API frequently returns an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error message. The error message prevents a significant number of messages from being processed successfully.
How can the developer resolve this issue?

Question97: An online food company provides an Amazon API Gateway HTTP API 1o receive orders for partners. The API is integrated with an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda function stores the orders in an Amazon DynamoDB table.
The company expects to onboard additional partners Some to me panthers require additional Lambda function to receive orders. The company has created an Amazon S3 bucket. The company needs 10 store all orders and updates m the S3 bucket for future analysis How can the developer ensure that an orders and updates are stored to Amazon S3 with the LEAST development effort?

Question98: A developer is working on an ecommerce platform that communicates with several third-party payment processing APIs The third-party payment services do not provide a test environment.
The developer needs to validate the ecommerce platform's integration with the third-party payment processing APIs. The developer must test the API integration code without invoking the third-party payment processing APIs.
Which solution will meet these requirements'?
