Amazon DynamoDB is a key value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed, multi-region, multi-active database with built-in security, backup and restore,
and in-memory caching for internet scale applications.

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a write-through caching service that is designed to simplify the process of adding a cache to DynamoDB tables. DAX is intended for applications that require high-performance reads.
