Question: Is DynamoDB a managed service?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB is a fully managed service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is a NoSQL database service that provides fast, predictable performance and seamless scalability.
Being a managed service, DynamoDB takes care of many administrative tasks associated with running a distributed database, such as hardware provisioning, software patching, setup, configuration, and backups. This allows developers to focus on building their applications and services rather than worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
