medium🧠 Conceptual Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand the impact of missing access pattern planning
Without access patterns, keys and indexes may not match query needs, causing slow queries.Step 2: Eliminate unrelated causes
User count, column number, or programming language do not directly cause slow DynamoDB queries.Final Answer:
The table keys and indexes do not support the app's query needs. -> Option AQuick Check:
Missing access patterns = wrong keys/indexes = slow queries [OK]
Quick Trick: Slow queries often mean keys/indexes mismatch access patterns [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Blaming app user count for query speed
- Thinking table columns affect query speed directly
- Assuming programming language affects DynamoDB speed
