Domain 2: Design for New Solutions

Design for New Solutions is the domain on the SAP-C02 exam that tests a candidate's ability to architect greenfield workloads that meet demanding availability, performance, cost, and security requirements. It covers service selection decisions across compute, storage, database, networking, and application integration, requiring architects to justify trade-offs rather than just recall service names. Candidates are expected to apply patterns such as multi-region active-active, event-driven decoupling with SQS and EventBridge, and caching strategies with ElastiCache. Scenario questions in this domain often present competing constraints, such as sub-100ms latency alongside strict data residency requirements, and ask for the design that best satisfies all of them.
