DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that can support tables of virtually any size with horizontal scaling. This enables DynamoDB to scale to more than 10 trillion requests per day with peaks greater than 20 million requests per second, over petabytes of storage. In addition, there are no servers to provision, patch, or manage, and no software to install, maintain, or operate. DynamoDB automatically scales tables to adjust for capacity and maintains performance with zero administration. Availability and fault tolerance are built in, eliminating the need to architect your applications for these capabilities. DynamoDB is built for mission-critical workloads, including support for ACID transactions for a broad set of applications that require complex business logic.
