AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
A REST API you manage is sporadically failing. Monitoring dashboards show that the issue correlates with traffic spikes, and clients receive errors indicating the server is temporarily overloaded. As you begin your root cause analysis, which HTTP error code are you MOST likely investigating, and what is its probable cause?
The 504 error code represents Gateway Timeout and generally means that a proxy server did not receive a timely response from an upstream server.
The 503 error code indicates that the service is temporarily unavailable, likely due to server overload or maintenance.
The 500 error code suggests there is an Internal Server Error and might indicate a problem with the server's code or configuration.
The 502 error code means Bad Gateway and might be indicative of an error response from an intermediate proxy server.
A 503 Service Unavailable error indicates that the server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overload or maintenance. This error suggests an issue with the server's ability to process requests, rather than a problem with the client's request itself. Common causes include the server running out of compute resources during traffic spikes or being down for maintenance. Other error codes suggest different kinds of server issues. A 500 error indicates a generic internal server error. A 502 error indicates an invalid response from an upstream server. A 504 error indicates a gateway timeout while waiting for a response from an upstream server.
