My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

Today, I'm excited to announce the general availability of Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) , a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache that can speed up DynamoDB response times from milliseconds to microseconds, even at millions of requests per second. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage.

In 2012, Dave Cole published a post on How we build CMS free websites. Twitch developer documentation hosted on AWS, edited on CloudCannon. When we talk about static site generators, incremental regeneration, or instant cache invalidation, it’s enough to make the layman’s eyes glaze over. Now you could use GitHub as your CMS.

As we began growing the AWS business, we realized that external customers might find our Dynamo database just as useful as we found it within Amazon.com. So, we set out to build a fully hosted AWS database service based upon the original Dynamo design. Manageable – The service would need to be easy to manage and operate.

There are services at Netflix that use RDBMS kind of databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL via AWS RDS. This way, log event processing can resume event-by-event afterwards, eventually discovering the watermarks, without ever needing to cache log event entries. The destination may be a datastore or an external API.
