How can you handle a scenario where two regions update the same item simultaneously in a DynamoDB Global Table to avoid data loss?
ARely solely on DynamoDB's last-writer-wins conflict resolution
BDisable Global Tables and use single-region writes only
CUse synchronous replication to prevent conflicts
DImplement application-level versioning and merge logic
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand conflict resolution limits

    DynamoDB uses last-writer-wins which can cause data loss if updates conflict.
  2. Step 2: Apply advanced handling

    Application-level versioning and merge logic help preserve data by resolving conflicts intelligently.
  3. Final Answer:

    Implement application-level versioning and merge logic -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Prevent data loss = app-level versioning [OK]
Quick Trick: Use app versioning to handle conflicts safely [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Relying only on last-writer-wins
  • Disabling replication unnecessarily
  • Expecting synchronous replication in DynamoDB
