With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

DonHopkins : NeWS differs from the current technology stack in that it was all coherently designed at once by James Gosling and David Rosenthal, by taking several steps back and thinking deeply about all the different problems it was trying to solve together. It also works well to justify an acquisition of more servers to investors.
