Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) Available in New Regions

DAX is now available in Canada (Central) and Africa (Cape Town). DAX is a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that delivers up to ten times performance improvement, from single-digit milliseconds to microseconds, even at millions of requests per second.

With DAX, you can accelerate read-intensive and bursty workloads such as real-time bidding, gaming leaderboards, and retail product catalogs, while offloading read traffic from your DynamoDB tables. DAX is API-compatible with DynamoDB, so you can add microsecond-latency caching to your applications with minimal code changes.

What to do

• Consider using DAX to improve the performance of your read-intensive workloads.
• Check the Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator page for more information.
