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. Adding caching when your app is already experiencing load is not easy.

We will, however, also be somewhat skeptical of the impact we can expect from these new features in practice. As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. As such, even low latencies of less than 50 milliseconds can add up to considerable delays. Congestion Control.
