Fundamentally, internet traffic can be broadly categorized into static and dynamic content. Yes, it’s a single file, but that’s not how it’s stored on the internet. Given its unchanging nature, static content is ideal for caching. BandwidthImagine the internet as a ramified web of pipelines, each varying in size.

In just three short years, Amazon DynamoDB has emerged as the backbone for many powerful Internet applications such as AdRoll , Druva , DeviceScape , and Battlecamp. Using streams, you can apply the changes to a full-text search data store such as Elasticsearch, push incremental backups to Amazon S3, or maintain an up-to-date read cache.

A survey of 90,240 companies using MongoDB listed the leading uses as Technology and Services (23%), Computer Software (16%), and Internet (6%). Redis ranks right after MongoDB as the sixth most popular database management system ( DB-Engines, July 2023 ).

The cloud-hosted version would need to be: Scalable – The service would need to support hundreds of thousands, or even millions of AWS customers, each supporting their own internet-scale applications. Today, DynamoDB powers the next wave of high-performance, internet-scale applications that would overburden traditional relational databases.

Apple forces developers of competing browsers to use their engine for all browsers on iOS , restricting their ability to deliver a better version of the web platform. They are, pound for pound, some of the best engine developers globally and genuinely want good things for the web. So is speedy resolution and agreement.

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 are increasingly seeing customers wanting to build Internet-scale applications that require diverse data models. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values.

Three years ago, as part of our AWS Fast Data journey we introduced Amazon ElastiCache for Redis , a fully managed in-memory data store that operates at sub-millisecond latency. While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database.

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. However, it is extremely challenging to actually deploy them at Internet scale.

Performance isn’t just a technical concern: it affects everything from accessibility to usability to search engine optimization, and when baking it into the workflow, design decisions have to be informed by their performance implications. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms.
