Ans. A shard is a uniquely identified group of data records in a stream or we can say that Shard is a partition in Kinesis stream. A shard supports a fixed bandwidth i.e fixed number of messages per second. The total capacity of the stream is the sum of the capacities of its shards. If the data rate changes, we can allocate / deallocate more shards to accommodate that.

Ans. Single instance means there is only 1 instance that will bear all the traffic load whereas Load balanced server means that there will be a cluster of servers that will host the application and load will be balanced distributed among them. Auto Scaling means that the number of instances will be expanded / shrunken based on the rule. Rule could be the traffic count , response time etc.

Ans. Latency is the delay incurred while communicating a message i.e the time took the message in transit over network.
processing time is the delay it took for the server to process the request.
Response time is the sum total of latency and processing time.
For example -
Let's say it takes 1 ms for the request to reach from client to server and similar 1 ms for the response to come back to client. Moreover it takes approx 10 ms for the application to process the request. So The response time would be outward latency + processing time + inward latency = 12 ms

Ans. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or EC2 provides scalable computing capacity in the AWS cloud. It can be used to create Virtual Environments , storage and configure. EC2 enables to upgrade or downgrade infrastructure according to the rules defined ( with fluctuation in latency, traffic etc )

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. If the number of input values is large, we can go about passing them as query params instead of path params. If the number is even larger and complex , its better to create a post service that behaves like a get service. Though this practice is not recommended but technically it can be accomplished.I dont mind doing it if the exceptionally large number of input would make it much more confusing.

Ans. RMI uses a standard mechanism for communicating with remote objects i.e stubs and skeletons. A stub for a remote object acts as a client's local representative. The caller invokes a method on the local stub which is responsible for carrying out the method call on the remote object.
Stub resides at the client that upon calling whose method results in establishing connection with the server, serializing and mar shelling the request and then waiting for the response whereas skelton resides at the server that receives the request, unmarshal it and then deserialize to fulfil the request.

Ans. There is no direct way to make stateful REST service but when first time request send to server, generate the token on server and send back to client. When every time new request is send the token is send to identify the request is coming from same client.

Ans. A Web service is a service offered by one system to another, for communication over web through http. XML are JSON are usually used for sending across information from one system to another.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. GET is supposed to get information from the server. Client sends the minimal information so that Server can respond with the response body on basis of request. For example - You want to get complete employment record for employee id 123
POST is supposed to send the information for submission. Payload or a Body is usually sent so that it can be persisted on the server. For example - Sending the complete information of an employee ( id, name , dept etc ) to the server for persisting it.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Request Body in case of Get Request has no meaning and hence it's not parsed when the request is received. Alternatively Request Parameters are passed as either Path Params or Query Params.
