Amazon DynamoDB is AWS's fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service designed for scalable applications.
Overview
Amazon DynamoDB is AWS's fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service designed for scalable applications. It supports key-value and document data models with built-in security features (encryption at rest and in transit, IAM-based access control, VPC endpoints) and automatic scaling, making it a common backend for cloud-native apps. In cybersecurity terms, DynamoDB expands the cloud attack surface through potential misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and data exposure or tampering risks if stored data is compromised.
