Sample Question

See the Quality

Harder than the real exam, with detailed explanations

Sample — DVA-C02

A developer needs a Lambda function to process items from a DynamoDB table whenever rows are inserted or updated, with ordering preserved per item and automatic retries on failure. Which approach should the developer use?

A

Poll the DynamoDB table on a schedule using Amazon EventBridge rules

B

Enable DynamoDB Streams and configure the function with the stream as an event source

C

Publish changes to an Amazon SNS topic and subscribe the Lambda function

D

Write changes to an Amazon SQS standard queue consumed by the function

Explanation

DynamoDB Streams capture item-level changes in order per partition key and integrate natively with Lambda as an event source, with built-in retries and checkpointing. Scheduled polling (A) adds latency and misses ordering. SNS (C) and SQS standard (D) require the app to publish changes explicitly and do not guarantee per-item ordering (SQS standard is best-effort ordering).

DVA-C02 Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AWS Certified Developer – Associate

What is the DVA-C02 exam?
DVA-C02 is the AWS Certified Developer – Associate exam. It validates developing, deploying, and debugging applications on AWS. The exam costs $150, contains 65 questions, and requires a passing score of 733 out of 1000.
Is the AWS Developer Associate worth it?
Yes — DVA-C02 is highly valued for software and DevOps roles working on AWS. It proves practical skills with serverless, SDKs, security, and CI/CD, and pairs well with Solutions Architect Associate for a strong cloud profile.
How hard is DVA-C02?
DVA-C02 is moderately challenging and more code- and service-detail oriented than the architect exam. Expect questions on Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, IAM, and deployment tooling. Most candidates need 6–10 weeks of study plus hands-on coding.
Do I need coding experience for DVA-C02?
Yes — DVA-C02 assumes you can read and reason about application code and AWS SDK usage. AWS recommends one or more years of hands-on experience developing applications with AWS services, though strong study can substitute for some of it.
How many questions are on DVA-C02?
The DVA-C02 exam has 65 questions (50 scored, 15 unscored) with a 130-minute time limit. Questions are multiple-choice and multiple-response. The passing score is 733 out of 1000.
What is the DVA-C02 passing score?
The DVA-C02 passing score is 733 out of 1000. AWS uses scaled scoring across the four domains, so the exact number of correct answers required is not published.
How long does it take to prepare for DVA-C02?
Most candidates prepare in 6–10 weeks studying 1–2 hours per day. Focus on Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, IAM, encryption (KMS), and deployment services (CloudFormation, SAM, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline), and complete several mock exams.
How long is the DVA-C02 certification valid?
AWS Developer – Associate is valid for 3 years. You can recertify by passing a higher-level exam in the track or by retaking the current Developer exam before it expires.
