AWS DynamoDB is multi-AZ and is strongly consistent (at least for a single key update).

I believe you confused it with a Dynamo DB described in a paper Amazon published long ago. AWS DynamoDB has nothing to do with a eventually consistent design the paper describes. It was purely marketing gimmick to call the new AWS Service that.

Good article, thanks.

I'm currently reading The DynamoDB Book, and even it's author acknowledges that DynamoDB is serverless more as a byproduct and shouldn't be used for that reason alone

But as a product developer all these highly integrated AWS services that can be provisioned with CloudFormation are pretty convincing.

What's Fauna's IaC story?
