A company uses an Amazon RDS MySQL instance with serverless applications as the primary source of database connections. The demand fluctuates, leading to occasional connection rejection errors during peak times. What is the solution with minimal operational overhead to address this?




Explanation:

The correct answer is A: Implement RDS Proxy and reconfigure applications to route through it. RDS Proxy helps manage a pool of database connections and efficiently reuse them, which reduces the overhead associated with frequently opening and closing connections. This addresses the connection rejection errors during peak times without needing to change the instance class or architecture, thus minimizing operational overhead.
