Amazon DynamoDB Architecture Overview
At a high level, Amazon DynamoDB is designed for high availability, durability, and consistently low latency (typically in the single digit milliseconds) performance.
Amazon DynamoDB runs on a fleet of AWS managed servers that leverage solid state drives (SSDs) to create an optimized, high-density storage platform. This platform decouples performance from table size and eliminates the need for the working set of data to fit in memory while still returning consistent, low latency responses to queries. As a managed service, Amazon DynamoDB abstracts its underlying architectural details from the user.
