Question 231 - MLS-C01 discussion

Report
Export

A company processes millions of orders every day. The company uses Amazon DynamoDB tables to store order information. When customers submit new orders, the new orders are immediately added to the DynamoDB tables. New orders arrive in the DynamoDB tables continuously.

A data scientist must build a peak-time prediction solution. The data scientist must also create an Amazon OuickSight dashboard to display near real-lime order insights. The data scientist needs to build a solution that will give QuickSight access to the data as soon as new order information arrives.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST delay between when a new order is processed and when QuickSight can access the new order information?

A.
Use AWS Glue to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
Answers
A.
Use AWS Glue to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
B.
Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
Answers
B.
Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
C.
Use an API call from OuickSight to access the data that is in Amazon DynamoDB directly
Answers
C.
Use an API call from OuickSight to access the data that is in Amazon DynamoDB directly
D.
Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
Answers
D.
Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3. Configure OuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The best solution for this scenario is to use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to export the data from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3, and then configure QuickSight to access the data in Amazon S3. This solution has the following advantages:

It allows near real-time data ingestion from DynamoDB to S3 using Kinesis Data Streams, which can capture and process data continuously and at scale1.

It enables QuickSight to access the data in S3 using the Athena connector, which supports federated queries to multiple data sources, including Kinesis Data Streams2.

It avoids the need to create and manage a Lambda function or a Glue crawler, which are required for the other solutions.

The other solutions have the following drawbacks:

Using AWS Glue to export the data from DynamoDB to S3 introduces additional latency and complexity, as Glue is a batch-oriented service that requires scheduling and configuration3.

Using an API call from QuickSight to access the data in DynamoDB directly is not possible, as QuickSight does not support direct querying of DynamoDB4.

Using Kinesis Data Firehose to export the data from DynamoDB to S3 is less efficient and flexible than using Kinesis Data Streams, as Firehose does not support custom data processing or transformation, and has a minimum buffer interval of 60 seconds5.
