Question: Is DynamoDB highly available?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB is both highly available, scalable, and distributed data store. It achieves that by sharding your data over dozens of servers across Availability Zones and does that automatically for you without your intervention. Moreover, you can use it in a multi-region fashion using global tables.
