Question
A company is building a scalable data management solution by using AWS services to improve the speed and agility of development. The solution will ingest large volumes of data from various sources and will process this data through multiple business rules and transformations.
The solution requires business rules to run in sequence and to handle reprocessing of data if errors occur when the business rules run. The company needs the solution to be scalable and to require the least possible maintenance.
Which AWS service should the company use to manage and automate the orchestration of the data flows to meet these requirements?
- A. AWS Batch
- B. AWS Step Functions Correct
- C. AWS Glue
- D. AWS Lambda
Explanation
AWS Step Functions is designed to coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices, allowing for the creation of workflows that run business rules in sequence. It handles error management and retries, making it suitable for orchestrating data flows with minimal maintenance, which aligns with the company's requirements.
