AWS DynamoDB: Leveraging
Database Innovation in the Cloud
An IT Drama in Two Short Acts
Starring:
Kevin Kelly as CIO
Mark Ryland as Architect
Act I: The Problem
Somewhere on the edge of a
cube farm in Tysons Corner…
What
New “bet the company/agency,”
mission-critical app
Scale
Support one million concurrent
users
“Success failure” is not an option!
Speed
Database tier must support
100,000 reads and 50,000 writes
per second!
Reliability
Zero data loss, full availability
even if an entire datacenter goes
down!
Budget
No money prior to proven success
(ok, a few $1ks for PoC)
No people (no database experts)
Timing
Need plan & PoC end of this week
In sum:






Mission-critical app
One million simultaneous users
100k/50k IOPS data tier!
Resilient to loss of … a datacenter!
No real money or people
