It is very useful feature of DynamoDB. Let's consider today we are having x number of users and that increases by n number and if we go traditional method then there might be possibility our existing DB methodology can't handle that number of users while it is very smooth and due to it is Serverless, we don't need to do it and our time is saved.

Amazon DynamoDB works the best in terms of its scalability. In my opinion, the higher the scalability is, the more sense it makes to use Amazon DynamoDB as your database. It works phenomenally well and performs in high speed at big scales. And the flexibility provided in scaling your operations certainly help in overcoming the task.

We tested Amazon DynamoDB with millions of records and never saw any issue with scalability or readability. It always responded back within milli seconds e.g 15 to 25 milliseconds response time with hundreds of records in return.

Having a huge scalability deserves the rating provided. Working up to the mark at that scalability deserves more. It is just fast and supreme in terms of performance at high scales. Plus one doesn't have to manage most of it at the said scale. Amazon DynamoDB helps us with that and even the cost savings is easy to figure out.

It is designed and well adapted to handle large workloads. When feeding a large volume of data, it performed well with consistent low latency. It performed well when it came to needing fast access to data. We gave it a stress test simulating workloads and it was able to keep up with what was being asked.

Its one of the key database in cloud infra-structure and we can easily integrate that with other aws services. Fully managed, so no need of a dedicated team for this that saves lot of money. Easily scalable and secure. Taking a backup is simple. Latency is very low. Data restore can be done in a quick time.

Amazon DynamoDB design the scaling well so that you only need to scale the db when you needed. In such case, there is no waste on db storage because you only scaling when you need it.

Scalability is one of the most prominent features of Dynamo DB, which we propose to clients who are unaware of the features in detail and tell them how their business can overcome scaling DB issues if they move to Dynamo DB and if it serves their requirements well.

DynamoDB can rapidly provide extra resources to handle the increasing throughput and storage demands as your application's traffic and workload rise. Global tables, which DynamoDB offers, let you duplicate your data across many AWS regions. This offers consumers and applications in many parts of the world low-latency access to data.

Because it automatically spreads the data over a sufficient number of servers and handles it well while keeping the performance up. Management and retrieval of this data is as simple too. Makes Amazon DynamoDB a good choice for high scalable applications.

I have taken one point away due to its size limits. In case the application requires queries, it becomes really complicated to read and write data. When it comes to extremely large data sets such as the case in my company, a third-party logistics company, where huge amount of data is generated on a daily basis, even though the scalability is good, it becomes difficult to manage all the data due to limits.

DynamoDB has the high scalability that is expected from the start, because it's a DB that has been created with seamless scalability (so that you can scale both up and down without having any kind of performance impact or downtime).
This important feature allows for lower costs for workloads with predictable traffic patterns.
As any other AWS service, the auto-scaling is controlled through policies and is monitored with the aid of CloudWatch.
