What is Dynamodb used for internally? Looks like it's being used for fulfillment and checkout as well.

Is Amazon entirely based out of Dynamodb nosql ?

According to this Amazon job listing [1], DynamoDB isn't even the biggest (in terms of throughput) data store that Amazon uses.

I miss SABLE. I like it better than DDB, but I'm probably in the minority there. It made building high throughput services easy. I'm somewhat surprised it mentioned publicly.

I guess it explains why I am not able to find any information related to SABLE. Are you able to release anything related to it? It seems really interesting.

> SABLE is at the core of Amazon.com retail infrastructure. It more than 400 billion requests per day from Amazon.com websites, Web Services, and internal Amazon systems.

Wow!

Three years ago or more, Bigtable served that much traffic in less than fifteen minutes: https://twitter.com/akpurtell/status/463747917782589441

Literally everything runs on DDB.
