About Amazon DynamoDB
Amazon DynamoDB is a highly scalable, SSD-based, zero administration database service in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Amazon has launched this service in January.
Amazon DynamoDB service is designed to address the core problems of database management, performance, scalability, and reliability. Developers can create a database table that can store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for the table over a sufficient number of servers to handle the request capacity specified by the customer and the amount of data stored, while maintaining consistent, fast performance. All data items are stored on Solid State Drives (SSDs) and are automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones in a Region to provide built-in high availability and data durability. According to Amazon, a “perpetual” free tier of the DynamoDB service with storage and a set number of reads and writes per month will be offered.
NoSQL Industry Outlook by GigaOM
Should NoSQL startups be afraid of DynamoDB? With AWS and DynamoDB, other NoSQL companies find themselves fighting for the websites and other web-based customers that are now their bread and butter. Sid Anand, who helped transition Netflix from Oracle to AWS’s SimpleDB to Cassandra and who now is on the LinkedIn infrastructure team, wrote on his blog earlier this week that “[i]f [your NoSQL database] is not hosted (e.g. by AWS), be prepared to hire a fleet of ops folks to support it yourself. If you don’t have the manpower, I recommend AWS’[s] DynamoDB.”
