For example, the IMDG must be able to efficiently create millions of objects in each server to make use of its huge storage capacity. Also, load-balancing after membership changes must be both multi-threaded and pipelined to drive the network at maximum bandwidth. A Few Words on Design Philosophy: Keep It Simple.

DynamoDB has come a long way in the 5 years since we announced its availability in January 2012. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage. I've had a chance to interact with many of these customers on the design of their apps. When you write an application, you might not need or design for caching on day one.
