Question 240
A principal solutions architect reviews an AWS application dependency, the decisive constraint is: A new industrial monitoring system needs real-time measurements queried by timestamp through native InfluxDB APIs. Which architecture decision most directly satisfies the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB with appropriate tag and retention design. Managed InfluxDB supports time-series ingestion and query patterns for new customers, unlike closed-to-new-customer LiveAnalytics.
Incorrect Answers
For the separate situation A high-throughput key-value service needs predictable single-digit-millisecond access at large scale, Choose DynamoDB with well-distributed partition keys and suitable capacity mode could be useful. DynamoDB is designed for scalable key-value access patterns without relational joins.
Use Amazon Aurora or RDS relational databases with an appropriate engine solves the related scenario An application requires complex SQL joins and ACID transactions over structured entities; relational databases natively support SQL joins and transaction semantics.
Evaluate Amazon Neptune for graph traversal workload requirements would address a different requirement: A social graph must repeatedly traverse variable-depth connections between entities. A graph model supports relationship traversals beyond simple key lookups.
