AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 177

A company is developing a new Node.js application. The application must have a scalable NoSQL database to meet increasing demand as the popularity of the application grows.
Which AWS service will meet the requirements for the database?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Aurora Serverless
• B. Amazon ElastiCache
• C. Amazon DynamoDB
• D. Amazon Redshift

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon DynamoDB is designed to be a scalable NoSQL database, making it an ideal choice for applications experiencing growth in demand. In contrast, Amazon Aurora Serverless is a relational database, Amazon ElastiCache is for caching, and Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing solution, none of which are suitable for the NoSQL requirement.
