Partitions
Explore how DynamoDB partitions data across multiple SSDs within different availability zones to enhance scalability and fault tolerance. Understand the role of synchronous partition replication and multi-region replication options including DynamoDB Streams and Global Tables. This lesson helps you grasp DynamoDB's core architecture for managing data distribution and resilience within AWS.
We'll cover the following...
DynamoDB removes the need for companies to manage infrastructure. Nonetheless, this infrastructure and DynamoDB’s own architecture are quite complex. This architecture supports all of our requirements related to availability and scalability. It’s important to know how this architecture functions, because it can come in handy when designing systems. In this lesson, we’re going to discuss an integral part of DynamoDB’s architecture—partitions.
Important concepts
Before understanding how partitions work in DynamoDB, it’s worth clarifying some basic ...
