Build modern applications with purpose-built AWS databases
summary
Modern apps break monoliths into microservices and pick specialized databases per need: relational for strong consistency, DynamoDB for massive key‑value scale, DocumentDB for JSON, Neptune for graphs, Timestream for time series, QLDB for verifiable ledgers, ElastiCache for microsecond caching, and Keyspaces for Cassandra workloads. Real examples: Aurora + ElastiCache + DynamoDB for Pokémon GO, DynamoDB: 7 trillion Prime Day requests and peak ~45 million req/s, Duolingo: ~24k reads / 3k writes per sec for 300M users.
