Amazon Prime Day 2020 – Powered by AWS

What's interesting is seeing some of these numbers. 80 million requests per second the the DynamoDB endpoint.

There's been a lot of criticism of google for doing fewer DNS requests then that per day to try to avoid domain hijacking attacks by ISPs and other middleware.

Given DNS should be pretty fast to serve, be interesting if Amazon / Google etc could help out apnic just handle some of these DNS queries (0.5mqps?). I happen to like the effect it has on domain hijacking, and compared to youtube and graphics heavy product pages hard to imagine bandwidth is too crazy high?

One note - Dynamo pricing (let's say 0.50 per million equests would be around $40/second at these volumes?)
