Q1Domain Verified
When designing a Global Secondary Index (GSI) in DynamoDB to support efficient "starts-with" queries on a string attribute, which projection type offers the most flexibility for subsequent client-side filtering or aggregation if the GSI's projected attributes are insufficient?
KEYS_ONLY
INCLUDE
PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES
ALL
Q2Domain Verified
A common challenge with GSIs is the potential for "hot partitions" if the GSI's partition key is heavily skewed. The course emphasizes a pattern to mitigate this for time-series dat
Implementing a write sharding mechanism at the application level before writing to DynamoDB.
Employing a range-based partition key for the GSI to leverage DynamoDB's internal partitioning.
Appending a time-based component (e.g., hour, day) to the GSI partition key to shard data across multiple partitions.
What is this pattern, and why does it work? A) Using a UUID as the GSI partition key to distribute writes evenly.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider a scenario where you need to query for items based on a combination of two attributes, `category` and `creation_date`, where `category` is a broad filter and `creation_date` is a more specific, often time-range, filter. You're considering a GSI. What is the optimal design for the GSI's partition key (PK) and sort key (SK) to efficiently support queries like "all items in category 'X' created between date Y and date Z"?
GSI PK: `category` + `creation_date`, GSI SK: (not applicable)
GSI PK: `category`, GSI SK: `creation_date`
GSI PK: `creation_date`, GSI SK: `category`
GSI PK: `creation_date` + `category`, GSI SK: (not applicable)
