  1. Question 1Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

    An application's API Gateway and Lambda setup is experiencing throttling during peak traffic. How should this be addressed?

    ARemove all throttling limits from API Gateway
    BImplement an SQS queue between API Gateway and Lambda to absorb traffic spikes, with Lambda processing from the queue
    CUse API Gateway caching for all POST requests
    DIncrease Lambda reserved concurrency to maximum

  2. Question 2Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

    A company has deployed an API using API Gateway and Lambda. They want to reduce latency for global users. What is the MOST effective solution?

    AEnable API Gateway edge-optimized endpoint type with CloudFront
    BDeploy API Gateway in multiple regions and use Route 53 latency-based routing
    CUse Lambda@Edge to run the function at CloudFront edge locations
    DBoth A and C are valid; A is managed, C provides more control

  3. Question 3Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

    A company's API Gateway is experiencing latency spikes. X-Ray traces show that the Lambda function runs fast, but integration latency at API Gateway is high. What should be investigated?

    ALambda cold starts
    BAPI Gateway caching is disabled — cached responses would eliminate Lambda invocations for repeated requests
    CLambda memory allocation
    DLambda execution environment reuse

  4. Question 4Design for New Solutions

    A company needs to build a workflow that orchestrates multiple AWS services (Lambda, ECS, SNS, DynamoDB) with error handling, retries, and parallel processing. Which service is BEST suited?

    AAmazon SQS for job coordination
    BAWS Step Functions for workflow orchestration
    CAWS Lambda for chaining function calls
    DAmazon EventBridge for event-driven routing

  5. Question 5Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

    A company's Lambda function processes SQS messages. During testing, they discover that Lambda batch item failures don't remove successfully processed messages from the queue. What is the correct implementation?

    ADelete all messages after processing
    BUse Lambda reportBatchItemFailures feature: return messageIds of failed items in the response; Lambda only retries failed items while successfully processed messages are deleted
    CReduce batch size to 1
    DIncrease the visibility timeout

SAP-C02 Serverless Exam Tips

Serverless Architecture on AWS questions in SAP-C02 are typically scenario-based. Focus on enterprise-scale multi-account architecture, governance, and modernization strategies. Priority concepts: serverless, lambda, api gateway, step functions, eventbridge, sqs.

What SAP-C02 Expects

  • Anchor your answer in prefer future-proof designs that support organizational complexity and migration realities.
  • Serverless scenarios for SAP-C02 are frequently mapped to Domain 2 (29%), Domain 3 (25%), Domain 4 (20%), so read the objective carefully before picking controls or architecture.
  • Expect multi-topic scenarios where Serverless interacts with IAM, networking, storage, or observability patterns rather than appearing as an isolated question.
  • When two options are both technically valid, prefer the choice that best aligns with the exam's operational scope (Professional) and vendor best practices.

High-Value Serverless Concepts

  • Know the core Serverless building blocks cold: serverless, lambda, api gateway, step functions.
  • Review the edge-case features and limits for eventbridge, sqs; these details are commonly used to differentiate answer choices.
  • Practice service-integration reasoning: how Serverless pairs with Application Integration, DynamoDB, Cost Optimization in real deployment patterns.
  • For SAP-C02, explain why the chosen Serverless design meets reliability, security, and cost expectations better than the alternatives.

Common SAP-C02 Traps

  • Watch for answers that work for a single account but fail at organizational scale.
  • Questions in Design for New Solutions often include distractors that look correct for Serverless but violate least-privilege, durability, or availability requirements.
  • Avoid picking options purely by feature name; validate data path, failure handling, and governance impact before answering.
  • If the prompt hints at automation or repeatability, eliminate manual-only operational answers first.

Fast Review Checklist

  • Can you compare at least two Serverless implementation paths and justify which one best fits the scenario?
  • Can you map the chosen answer back to Design for New Solutions (29%) outcomes for SAP-C02?
  • Can you explain security and access boundaries for Serverless without relying on default-open assumptions?
  • Can you describe how Serverless integrates with Application Integration and DynamoDB during failure, scaling, and monitoring events?
