The solution that will meet the requirements with the least development effort is to set the image resize Lambda function as a destination of the avatar generator Lambda function for the events that fail processing. This way, the fallback mechanism is automatically triggered by the Lambda service without requiring any additional components or configuration. The other options involve creating and managing additional resources such as queues, topics, state machines, or rules, which would increase the complexity and cost of the solution.

This step should be completed prior to deploying the application because it prepares the application artifacts for deployment. The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is a framework that simplifies building and deploying serverless applications on AWS. The AWS SAM CLI is a command-line tool that helps you create, test, and deploy serverless applications using AWS SAM templates. The sam package command bundles the application artifacts, such as Lambda function code and API definitions, and uploads them to an Amazon S3 bucket. The command also returns a CloudFormation template that is ready to be deployed with the sam deploy command. Compressing the application to a zip file and uploading it to AWS Lambda will not work because it does not use AWS SAM templates or CloudFormation. Testing the new Lambda function by first tracing it in AWS X-Ray will not prepare the application for deployment, but only monitor its performance and errors. Creating the application environment using the eb create my-env command will not work because it is a command for AWS Elastic Beanstalk, not AWS SAM.

This benefit occurs when initializing the AWS SDK outside of the Lambda handler function because it allows the SDK instance to be reused across multiple invocations of the same function. This can improve performance and reduce latency by avoiding unnecessary initialization overhead. If the SDK is initialized inside the handler function, it will create a new SDK instance for each invocation, which can increase memory usage and execution time.

This solution meets the requirements because it provides a caching layer that can store and retrieve encrypted data from multiple nodes. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis supports encryption at rest and in transit, and can scale horizontally to increase the cache capacity and availability. Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached does not support encryption, Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that is not suitable for caching database queries, and Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a caching service that only works with DynamoDB tables.
