Purpose-built databases

Of Amazon’s 212 cloud computing services, fifteen are purpose-built database engines. In this post, we focus on eight AWS database services: Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon DocumentDB, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Neptune, Amazon Timestream, and Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB). 

Databases used to be a “one-size-fits-all”: use a relational DB and off you go!
• New challenges:
• With advent of big data, demands on volume, velocity and variety of data have increased
• We store TBs to PBs data
• Millions of requests per second
• Sub-millisecond latencies and global users
• Although relational databases are here to stay (and are evolving!), they alone
aren’t enough to cater to our data needs today
• In modern applications, it’s common to see a mix of databases
• Finding and using databases fit for purpose – right database for the right job
