Expanding the Cloud â?? By Werner Vogels on 25 September 2012 06:00 PM. As engineers, we often introduce all sorts of constructs in our architectures (whether in the cloud or on-premise) to compensate for the cases when databases under load do not deliver the rock-solid performance we need to serve our customers.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. As we said at the time, DynamoDB was a result of 15 years of learning in the area of large scale non-relational databases and cloud services. These are the apps that have motivated us to develop DAX. Saving crucial milliseconds.

Our straining database infrastructure on Oracle led us to evaluate if we could develop a purpose-built database that would support our business needs for the long term. " Of course, no technology change happens in isolation, and at the same time NoSQL was evolving, so was cloud computing.

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS. The Moto G7 very much looks the part.

We launched DynamoDB last year to address the need for a cloud database that provides seamless scalability, irrespective of whether you are doing ten transactions or ten million transactions, while providing rock solid durability and availability. Now you can run queries on any item attributes (columns) in your DynamoDB table.

This motivated the development of DBLog , which offers log and dump processing under a generic framework. Passive instances across regions are also possible, though it is recommended to operate in the same region as the database host in order to keep the change capture latencies low.
