Question: Is DynamoDB based on MongoDB?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
No, DynamoDB is not based on MongoDB. DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses a key-value data model. MongoDB, on the other hand, is a document-oriented NoSQL database that uses a JSON-like format for data storage. While DynamoDB and MongoDB are NoSQL databases, they have different designs and architectures.
