Question

A gaming company runs a serverless backend that stores player session data in a DynamoDB table in us-east-1. The business now requires that players in Europe experience low read/write latency and that the application continue serving writes even if the us-east-1 Region becomes unavailable. The team wants a fully managed solution with minimal application changes and no manual failover steps. Which approach BEST meets these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Configure a DynamoDB global table with replicas in us-east-1 and eu-west-1, and route users to the nearest Region's endpoint.

Answer

Enable DynamoDB point-in-time recovery and restore the table into eu-west-1 during a Regional outage.

Answer

Create a DynamoDB read replica in eu-west-1 and promote it to a primary when us-east-1 fails.

Answer

Schedule an AWS Backup cross-Region copy job to replicate the table to eu-west-1 every 15 minutes.
