Samsung Cloud
"Samsung Cloud provides a smooth backup, sync, restore, and upgrade experience for all your Galaxy devices. We use Amazon DynamoDB as a metadata index for the petabytes of voice recordings, notes, and contacts stored in Amazon S3. We chose DynamoDB for its fast performance, high durability, and serverless scaling. Some of our DynamoDB workloads store historical data and are used less frequently than others. We lowered our costs more than 30% by switching these workloads to DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access tables. Since there was no new code to write, and no tradeoffs for performance, durability, or scalability, we were able to make the change quickly with no impact to the customer experience."
JeongHun Kim, Database Engineer, Samsung Cloud

Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
"When the COVID-19 pandemic began, there was an enormous demand for our voice and video services. In early 2020, we saw unprecedented usage grow from 10M to 300M Daily Meeting Participants from new and existing customers that needed to connect virtually. On the backend, we were able to manage this surge with Amazon DynamoDB for Zoom Meetings. Using DynamoDB global tables in conjunction with on-demand mode enabled us to scale nearly infinitely with no performance issues, even with our sudden spike in usage."
Yasin Mohammed, Engineering Manager, Cloud Operations at Zoom Video Communications, Inc.

Jonathan Lee, Alki Team Tech Lead, Dropbox

The Pokémon Company International
The Pokémon Company migrated global configuration and time-to-live (TTL) data to Amazon DynamoDB, resulting in a 90 percent reduction in bot login attempts.
“Using the built-in TTL settings in Amazon DynamoDB, we can track when a user exceeds the maximum login attempt threshold and deny entry… The result has been a 90 percent reduction in bot login attempts, which frees up system resources for legitimate users and reduces our need to overscale.”
Jeff Webb, Development Manager, The Pokémon Company International

Amazon
Amazon workflow engines run on DynamoDB for millisecond response times, allowing customers to get their orders faster.
“If we were still running on the old architecture, we would have had to use 1,000 hosts running Oracle software to support this year’s Amazon Prime Day. That’s a huge number of hosts to manage and scale. Herd is a mission-critical system for Amazon, and we are extremely confident in Amazon DynamoDB as the technology on which to run it… Because of Amazon DynamoDB, we can concentrate on delivering new features for customers instead of focusing on scaling and maintaining the databases. This is really transforming Herd as a product, and it will ultimately improve things for Amazon.com customers as well."
Mike Thomas, Software Development Manager, Amazon Herd
