Amazon DynamoDB is AWS's fully managed, serverless NoSQL key-value and document database designed for high throughput and single-digit-millisecond latency at scale. It targets teams building high-traffic applications on AWS that want predictable performance without managing servers. Capacity can be on-demand or provisioned, making pricing usage based, and an always-free allowance covers 25 GB of storage with limited capacity. The service is proprietary and AWS-only, so it is not open-source, self-hostable in production, or multi-cloud. It holds SOC2, ISO27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance.
