AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
Your company runs an online retail application built from multiple microservices. Customers now report check-out failures. You enable AWS X-Ray and inspect the service map, which shows a spike in faults on the edge between the payment-processing service and the inventory service. What does this spike most likely indicate, and what should be your first troubleshooting action?
Tracing overhead is slowing requests, so disabling X-Ray should help restore normal checkout performance.
It probably reflects a transient network glitch after deployment; monitor the system for a day or two before taking action.
The spike shows repeated errors during interactions between the two services; examine their traces and CloudWatch logs to find the root cause.
It means the inventory service is under-provisioned; immediately add more compute and memory to that service.
A spike in faults on an X-Ray service map indicates a high rate of errors when one service calls another. The best first step is to drill into that edge or node and review the related traces, CloudWatch logs, and performance metrics to pinpoint exceptions, timeouts, or misconfigurations causing the failures. The other responses either assume capacity problems, postpone investigation, or disable the tracing tool that revealed the issue.
