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. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage.

However, getting reliable answers from observability data so teams can automate more processes to ensure speed, quality, and reliability can be challenging. This drive for speed has a cost: 22% of leaders admit they’re under so much pressure to innovate faster that they must sacrifice code quality.

For example, data collected on load actions can include navigation start, request start, and speed index metrics. However, only highly scalable real user monitoring solutions can collect data on all user actions, while less scalable tools have to sample user actions and make inferences from partial data.
