DynamoDB Global Table Design
Deploy a DynamoDB Global Table spanning us-east-1 and us-west-2, test multi-region replication, implement conflict resolution patterns, and monitor replication lag with CloudWatch — an SAP-C02 multi-region resilience scenario.
Lab Overview
Build a production-ready DynamoDB Global Table architecture for the SAP-C02 exam. Create a base table with on-demand capacity and point-in-time recovery in us-east-1, add a us-west-2 replica to form a global table, simulate write conflicts and test the "last writer wins" resolution mechanism, and build CloudWatch dashboards with alarms on ReplicationLatency metrics. The lab also covers exam decision patterns for Kinesis Data Streams vs Firehose vs MSK, and Athena vs Redshift vs EMR vs OpenSearch service selection — with simulated service comparisons for blocked big data services.
