Question: Why is DynamoDB better than MongoDB?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB is a fully managed, highly scalable, low-latency NoSQL database service. It is designed to handle large amounts of data and high levels of request traffic, making it a good choice for applications that handle many users or a high volume of requests. DynamoDB supports advanced features such as global tables and streams, making it a good choice for distributed systems.MongoDB is a more general-purpose NoSQL database that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.However, it is not as highly optimized for high-traffic, high-scale use cases as DynamoDB.Overall, DynamoDB is a better choice for applications that need a highly scalable, low-latency, and fully managed NoSQL database service.
