We introduce a caching mechanism in the API gateway layer, allowing us to offload processing from singleton leader elected controllers without giving up strict data consistency and guarantees clients observe. For example, it is OK to send writes through one instance, and do reads from another one with full data read consistency guarantees.

We’ll get to that, but first let’s look at some examples of privacy policies and how they can be expressed. For example: An aggregation policy could be used to rewrite any matching aggregation into a differentially-private version. The challenging thing of course, is efficiently maintaining all of these parallel universes.

While caching continues to be a dominant use of ElastiCache for Redis, we see customers increasingly use it as an in-memory NoSQL database.

As I have talked about before, one of the reasons why we built Amazon DynamoDB was that Amazon was pushing the limits of what was a leading commercial database at the time and we were unable to sustain the availability, scalability, and performance needs that our growing Amazon.com business demanded.
