easy🧠 Conceptual Q1 of 15

DynamoDB - Access Patterns and Query Optimization

AIt guarantees strong consistency for all reads

BIt reduces write throttling by spreading load across partitions

CIt automatically backs up data to S3

DIt eliminates the need for secondary indexes

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand write throttling
Write throttling occurs when too many writes target the same partition key.
Step 2: Role of distributing writes
By spreading writes across multiple partition keys (shards), the load is balanced, reducing throttling.
Final Answer:
It reduces write throttling by spreading load across partitions -> Option B
Quick Check:
Write distribution reduces throttling [OK]

Quick Trick: Distribute writes to avoid hot partitions [OK]
