In just three short years, Amazon DynamoDB has emerged as the backbone for many powerful Internet applications such as AdRoll , Druva , DeviceScape , and Battlecamp. A more scalable option is to decouple these systems and build a pipe that connects these engines and feeds all change records from the source database to the data warehouse (e.g.,

This allows for faster failover times while minimizing latency. Amazon’s enhancements address many day-to-day challenges with running Redis.
