An advertising company is developing a backend for a bidding platform. The company needs a cost-effective datastore solution that will accommodate a sudden increase in the volume of write transactions. The database also needs to make data changes available in a near real-time data stream.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company with 500,000 employees needs to supply its employee list to an application used by human resources. Every 30 minutes, the data is exported using the LDAP service to load into a new Amazon DynamoDB table. The data model has a base table with Employee ID for the partition key and a global secondary index with Organization ID as the partition key.
While importing the data, a database specialist receives ProvisionedThroughputExceededException errors. After increasing the provisioned write capacity units
(WCUs) to 50,000, the specialist receives the same errors. Amazon CloudWatch metrics show a consumption of 1,500 WCUs.
What should the database specialist do to address the issue?

A company is running a website on Amazon EC2 instances deployed in multiple Availability Zones (AZs). The site performs a high number of repetitive reads and writes each second on an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi- AZ DB instance with General Purpose SSD (gp2) storage.
