Company launches managed NoSQL database service that allows database scalability.

Amazon Web Services LLC (AWS), an affiliate of Amazon.com, Inc., yesterday announced the immediate availability of Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides extremely fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, one can easily create a new DynamoDB database table, or scale a table's request capacity to the required level without incurring any downtime.

The company states that with Amazon DynamoDB, customers get:

• Fast, predictable performance at any scale. Customers can typically achieve average latencies in the single-digit milliseconds for database operations.
• Durability and high-availability. DynamoDB stores data on Solid State Drives (SSDs) and replicates it synchronously across multiple AWS Availability Zones in an AWS Region.
• Seamless scalability. For example, you can easily grow your DynamoDB table from 1,000 writes per second to 100,000 writes per second using the AWS Management Console.
• Easy administration. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed service. One need not worry about hardware or software provisioning, setup and configuration, software patching, operating a reliable, distributed database cluster, or partitioning data over multiple instances while scaling.
