Build for scale with Amazon DynamoDB developer features
summary
Highlights practical, actionable details: DynamoDB hits 89M RPS on Prime Day and supports adaptive capacity so hot keys don’t throttle other tenants; global tables replicate across regions in about 2–3 seconds and Disney+ uses a bookmark global table that starts on on‑demand then moves to provisioned capacity to handle launch spikes; change capture can use DynamoDB Streams (24‑hour retention, strict ordering) or Kinesis Data Streams (retention up to 1 year, enhanced fan‑out); exports to S3 use point‑in‑time recovery and CloudFormation plus NoSQL Workbench and CloudWatch Contributor Insights simplify ops.
