This system has been designed to supplement and succeed the existing Hadoop-based system that had too high latency of data processing and too high maintenance costs. The pipelines can be stateful and the engine’s middleware should provide a persistent storage to enable state checkpointing. Interoperability with Hadoop.

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. This type of traffic originates directly from the server, making it more challenging to handle due to latency and server load considerations; it’s hard but not impossible.

This operation is quite expensive but our database can run it in a few milliseconds or less, thanks to several optimizations that allow the node to execute most of them in memory with no or little access to mass storage. The key factor is that the whole data structure resides in the same location (node), facilitating the operations.

Based on this experience and learning, we built DynamoDB to be a fast, highly scalable NoSQL database to meet the needs of Internet-scale applications. DynamoDB was the first service at AWS to use SSD storage. These high-throughput, low-latency requirements need caching, not as a consideration, but as a best practice.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. Where to go from here?

For example updates to data now needs to happen in several locations, so what do you do if one or more of those locations is (temporarily) not accessible? Achieving strict consistency can come at a cost in update or read latency, and may result in lower throughput. Lowest read latency. Higher read latency. No stale reads.
