AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 57

A bicycle sharing company is developing a multi-tier architecture to track the location of its bicycles during peak operating hours. The company wants to use these data points in its existing analytics platform. A solutions architect must determine the most viable multi-tier option to support this architecture. The data points must be accessible from the REST API.
Which action meets these requirements for storing and retrieving location data?

Answer options

• A. Use Amazon Athena with Amazon S3.
• B. Use Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda.
• C. Use Amazon QuickSight with Amazon Redshift.
• D. Use Amazon API Gateway with Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda allows for seamless integration of REST APIs to handle the location data in a serverless manner. Options A and C do not provide direct access to the data via a REST API, while option D, though it involves real-time data processing, does not focus on the retrieval of location data through a REST API in the same way as option B.
