Performance


DynamoDB: consistent performance at scale Scalability Performance Security Availability & Data Protection Manageability Development Platform



DAX Demo


• Fully managed: handle all of the upgrades, patching,

and software management

• Flexible: Configure DAX for one table or many

• Highly available: fault tolerant, replication across multi-AZs within a region

• Scalable: scales-out to any workload with up to 10 read replicas

• Manageability: fully integrated AWS service: Amazon CloudWatch, Tagging for DynamoDB, AWS Console

• Security: Amazon VPC, AWS IAM, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Organizations

Features DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)


Repeated users are now being handled by the DAX cache without making the more expensive (in both latency & cost)

DAX represents a big opportunity for us to find the optimal balance between infrastructure cost and

system performance

DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)


The AWS team has taken a best-practice architectural pattern and turned it into something repeatable and

valuable for its customers Glenn Nethercutt

DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)


Key Benefits

• Fast performance: Microseconds response times at millions of reads/sec from single DAX cluster

• Ease of use: DynamoDB API compatible - requires minimal code change for existing applications, simplifying developer experience

• Lower costs: Reduce provisioned read capacity for DynamoDB tables for tables with hot data

VPC Endpoints for DynamoDB (VPC-E)


VPC Endpoints for DynamoDB (VPC-E) Use an IAM policy to restrict an IAM user, group, or role to a particular VPC-E for DynamoDB tables


• VPC: Access DynamoDB via secure Amazon VPC endpoint

• Access Control: restrict table access for each VPC endpoint with a unique IAM role and permissions

Features

Key Benefits • Turn off access from public Internet

gateways enhancing privacy and security

• Fast, secure data transfer between Amazon VPC and DynamoDB

Availability & Data Protection



• Available in 16 regions worldwide • Built-in replication across 3 Availability Zones

Manageability




Time-to-Live (TTL)

• Automatic: Deletes items from a table based on expiration timestamp

• Customizable: User-defined TTL attribute in epoch time format

• Audit Log: TTL activity recorded in DynamoDB Streams

Features

Key Benefits

• Reduce costs: Delete items no longer needed

• Performance: Optimize application performance by controlling table size growth

• Extensible: Trigger custom workflows with DynamoDB Streams and Lambda

Generally Available


Time-to-live (TTL)

Reduced their costs by over $200K per year, while also simplifying their application logic.

TUNE purged 85 terabytes of stale

data



Tagging

• Track costs: AWS bills broken down by tags in detailed monthly bills and Cost Explorer

• Flexible: Add customizable tags to both tables and indexes

Features

Key Benefits

• Transparency: know exactly how much your DynamoDB tables and indexes cost

• Consistent: report of spend across AWS services
