As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded. The opposite is true.

There was a time when standing up a website or application was simple and straightforward and not the complex networks they are today. For basic and simple websites, a developer was able to easily automate these checks and fix any problems before a user encountered them. Scalability. The recipe was straightforward. Peer-to-Peer.

With the ever-growing demands of the internet, websites and web applications face the challenge of delivering content swiftly and efficiently to users worldwide. Latency is a concept that increases with distance, so a signal that has to travel 1,000 KM will be much faster compared to a signal sprinting for that 100,000 KM.
