Prep for AWS exams by Designing Solutions.
Design challenges that make you architect real solutions under real constraints. Then answer Exam Style Questions from official AWS documentation. Built by AWS-certified professionals.
Four card schemes drop settlement files at 03:00 on the 31st. Choose the primary datastore. It has to survive an availability-zone failure without losing a record.
The gap
You can spot the right answer in a list of four. Can you choose it when nobody shows you the options?
Design challenges give you a realistic engagement brief with hard constraints and make you decide. Choose a service, configure it, justify it in a line. No four options with one right answer.
That distance between recognising the right architecture and actually choosing it is what the real exam tests.
A design challenge builds a real diagram from your decisions, then runs the month-end spike through it. Here the queue soaks up the burst so the datastore holds. Choose the wrong topology and you watch it break.
How scoring works
55% is deterministic code. 45% grades your reasoning.
Your design is checked against the brief’s hard constraints in code. Same input, same score, every time.
We run the month-end traffic spike through your architecture and see what breaks. Pure simulation, nothing to grade.
A graded pass per decision against a fixed rubric, quoting your own justification. It checks whether you engaged the constraint and explained the mechanism, not whether it likes your taste.
