You notice a hot partition error in your DynamoDB table. Which of the following is a debugging step to identify the cause?
AIncrease the read capacity units without analyzing keys
BDelete the table and recreate it with same keys
CCheck the distribution of partition key values in your workload
DDisable auto scaling on the table
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze partition key usage

    Checking key distribution helps identify if few keys receive most traffic causing hot partitions.
  2. Step 2: Avoid ineffective fixes

    Increasing capacity or deleting table without analysis won't solve root cause.
  3. Final Answer:

    Check the distribution of partition key values in your workload -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Debug hot partitions by analyzing key distribution [OK]
Quick Trick: Analyze key usage before scaling or deleting [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Scaling without understanding key distribution
  • Deleting table unnecessarily
  • Disabling auto scaling without cause
