About DynamoDB
Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL key-value database offered by AWS. It provides single-digit millisecond performance at any scale, with instant scaling, pay-per-request billing, and no infrastructure management, upgrades, or maintenance windows. It includes native vector search, which the page positions as suited to agentic applications requiring semantic retrieval.
For globally distributed applications, DynamoDB offers global tables, a multi-Region, multi-active configuration designed for up to 99.999% availability with multi-Region strong consistency, allowing applications to read the same data from any Region and target zero recovery point objective. The service also includes security controls and compliance standards intended to meet requirements for governments, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations.
DynamoDB is aimed at developers and organizations building applications on AWS that need a managed database ranging from small workloads to those serving hundreds of millions of simultaneous users, without managing underlying infrastructure.
