Dynamo

Dynamo is a distributed database system developed by Amazon to handle large-scale data storage and retrieval across multiple servers. It is designed for high availability and fault tolerance, ensuring continuous operation even if some servers fail. Dynamo uses a decentralized architecture, meaning no single point of control, which allows it to quickly read and write data across a network of nodes. It employs techniques like consistent hashing to evenly distribute data and replicate it for reliability. Dynamo is especially suitable for scalable web services needing fast, reliable access to vast amounts of data in real-time.
