Citizen traffic risks being blocked when the city API approaches API Gateway throttle limits or STS session quotas. What should developers alarm on?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Waiting until the gate is slammed shut is a rough day at city hall. Alarm when you're closing in on API Gateway throttle or STS session limits—not after citizens bounce. Headroom alerts beat outage tickets.
Full Explanation
Service-quota and throttle headroom should be monitored with CloudWatch alarms so teams can raise limits or shed load before availability fails. Post-failure-only alarms, unrelated S3 metrics, or removing throttling do not protect citizens. Proactive quota alarms are a standard Domain 4 optimization and operations practice.
