Question: Does DynamoDB have read replicas?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, Amazon DynamoDB has a feature called "On-Demand Replicas" that allows you to create one or more replicas of a table and serve read requests from these replicas. This feature can help improve the performance and availability of your DynamoDB tables, as read requests can be directed to the replica instead of the primary table, reducing the load on the primary table and increasing the number of read requests that can be served per second.
