Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand Lambda execution environment reuse
Lambda may reuse the same environment for multiple invocations, allowing caching of data between calls.Step 2: Identify best practice to reduce latency and API calls
Caching the secret in memory reduces repeated API calls and improves performance.Final Answer:
Cache the secret in the Lambda execution environment between invocations. -> Option CQuick Check:
Reduce latency = cache secrets in Lambda environment [OK]
Quick Trick: Cache secrets in Lambda memory to reduce API calls [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Calling Secrets Manager every invocation causing latency
- Storing secrets in environment variables (less secure)
- Hardcoding secrets in code risking exposure
