Distributed Transactions at Scale in Amazon DynamoDB

Explore a conference talk from USENIX ATC '23 that delves into the implementation of distributed transactions in Amazon DynamoDB. Learn how this NoSQL cloud database service successfully integrated ACID-compliant transactions without compromising its renowned high availability, scalability, and performance. Discover the innovative timestamp ordering protocol and key-value store semantics that enable low-latency operations for both transactional and non-transactional requests. Gain insights into experimental results from the production implementation, demonstrating the feasibility of supporting distributed transactions at scale in cloud-based NoSQL databases.
