Amazon DynamoDB is a proprietary closed-source cloudnative key-value and document database optimized for horizontal scaling. It's a fully managed, multiregion, multimaster database with built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching for internet-scale applications. DynamoDB is hosted on AWS, but also has a local deployment option just for development and functional testing. Used on amazon.com.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. It enables customers to offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling distributed databases to AWS so they don’t have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup and configuration, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling.
With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console or by making use of the Amazon Dynamo DB API, customers can launch a new Amazon DynamoDB database table, scale up or down their request capacity for the table without downtime or performance degradation, and gain visibility into resource utilization and performance metrics.
