Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. In the five months since it launched in January, DynamoDB , our fast and scalable NoSQL database service, has been setting AWS growth records. Our first Facebook game, Fruit Ninja Frenzy, jumped from 1 million to 8 million active monthly users in only two weeks.

We started with Amazon Dynamo, a simple key-value store that was built to be highly available and scalable to power various mission-critical applications in Amazon’s e-commerce platform. For DynamoDB, our primary focus was to build a fully-managed highly available database service with seamless scalability and predictable performance.

More control: While performing on-premise testing, organizations have more control over configurations, setup, hardware, and software. For certain situations that don’t require scalability, on-premise testing can be cost-effective. . Scalability comes at a price. Scalability: A cloud-based tool offers scalability.

In traditional database architectures, database engines often run a small search engine or data warehouse engines on the same hardware as the database. A more scalable option is to decouple these systems and build a pipe that connects these engines and feeds all change records from the source database to the data warehouse (e.g.,

That's because to guarantee message ordering is technically very difficult and, even if successful, always comes with tradeoffs like lower message throughput and less scalability that hamper the system's ability to be successful. To attempt to apply strict in-order processing would be to impose artificial limitations on our system.

VC firms late to the game will add more froth to valuations. There is also a sea-change in tech from hardware and services to software. M&A in the tech sector is back to pre-crisis levels. Some tech firms - encouraged by moribund investment banks - may still believe the time is right to IPO.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. The disincentive to game service pricing levels in order to create short-term profits at the expense of long-term investment will be overwhelming. It would have had no way of propagating Nitro across an entire vertical stack of hardware and software services.
