With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.

Google do strongly encourage you to focus on site speed for better performance in Search, but, if you don’t pass all relevant Core Web Vitals (and the applicable factors from the Page Experience report) they will not push you down the rankings. While Core Web Vitals can help with SEO, there’s so much more to site-speed than that.

This “shift left” approach to security enables developers to address issues before they reach production, which speeds up delivery and reduces risk. Applications are open to the internet and accessed by unknown entities, some of which may have malicious intent. Security is by design, not tacked on.
