Slow lookups, records that never expire
Looking up a customer by email is slow and rejecting requests under ordinary load, while expired session records accumulate instead of being cleaned up automatically. A monitor on write capacity exists but has never fired. The expected settings are documented on the resource itself.
Where the symptom shows: DynamoDB
Take this challenge on a live account
A live AWS account, already broken, and a clock. You fix it with the provider's own console and command line, then read a report of how you worked. We host the cloud account. Nothing lands on your bill.
