As more software developers look to the cloud to solve scalability issues, many are choosing AWS DynamoDB as their NoSQL solution. One interesting challenge that follows is keeping data in-sync across various distributed locations, a crucial feature for application performance and failure recovery. With the launch of AWS DynamoDB Streams, which exposes an event log of writes as a native service, real-time cross-region replication can be easily set up and maintained client-side. In this talk Daniela Miao, Software Developer on the DynamoDB team, addresses some of the challenges in setting up these replicas. The talk is followed by a live demonstration of how AWS Lambda can help bootstrap a real-time replica in an intuitive and cost-efficient manner.
