Question 23
Problem Statement:
Database query response times have increased. An API which is dependent on this database will see:
**Select any one of the following
Show answer & explanation
Answer: A. A) Increase in the latencies
An API waiting on a slower downstream database will spend more time waiting for responses, directly resulting in increased API latency.
Step-by-step Derivation:
Step 1: API response latency includes processing time plus all downstream I/O wait times.
Step 2: When the underlying database query response time increases, the API server must wait longer for data.
Step 3: This directly increases the end-to-end API response time (latency).
