AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A company stores daily sales CSV files in Amazon S3. Business analysts need a dashboard that shows a 7-day rolling average of sales and must support ad-hoc filtering. The solution must remain fully serverless and require the least possible operational effort. Which approach meets these requirements?
Trigger an AWS Lambda function on each new file to compute the 7-day rolling average and store results in Amazon DynamoDB; connect Amazon QuickSight to DynamoDB for visualization.
Run an AWS Glue ETL job to load the files into a provisioned Amazon Redshift cluster, create a materialized view for the rolling average, and visualize it with Amazon QuickSight.
Create an Amazon Athena view that uses SQL window functions to calculate the 7-day rolling average, then build an Amazon QuickSight dashboard that queries the view and refreshes data into SPICE on a schedule.
Launch an Amazon EMR cluster with Apache Spark to pre-compute daily aggregates, write the results in Parquet format to S3, and point Amazon QuickSight to the Parquet dataset through a manifest file.
Creating a view in Amazon Athena keeps all processing serverless and avoids managing infrastructure. Athena SQL supports window functions, so a view can calculate the 7-day rolling average on-the-fly. Amazon QuickSight can connect directly to Athena, offer interactive filtering, and use scheduled SPICE refreshes for performance. The other options introduce additional services that must be provisioned or maintained (Amazon Redshift cluster, Amazon EMR, or custom Lambda code and DynamoDB) and therefore do not minimize operational overhead while remaining fully serverless.
