Question: Is DynamoDB serverless?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB is truly "serverless" in a sense that you don't have to manage it or patch and care about underlying servers or software that it runs on. It's fully administered by AWS and all you need to do is just use it using CLI or SDK. Moreover, DynamoDB works in a "pay for what you use" model - it is billed on read/write operation (in on-demand mode) and per amount of data stored.
