DynamoDB Deep Dive: NoSQL for Software Engineers

# Database software management
Our database just works. AWS manages the software updates and security patches on the database. 
# Provisioning of hardware
DynamoDB is a server-less database. We do not need to worry about the hardware. The AWS team takes care of that for us. 
# Partitioning and repartitioning
Our data is horizontally scaled across multiple servers. This means that the data needs to be partitioned. Also, servers are added and removed all the time, which means that they have to be re-partitioned frequently. You don't have to worry about that this either, since the partitioning and repartitioning processes are managed by AWS without downtime.
# Replication
Under-the-hood DynamoDB replicates the data for durability. We never have to think about replication, as it happens automatically.
# Scaling of table and throughput
By default, when we create a table, it is set on auto-scaling. This means that even the throughput units are managed by AWS. Our tables scale with the volume and there is zero downtime.
