True or false: For an online game, it is better to use DynamoDB than a relational database engine.
- This is true because DynamoDB fully manages your database and can grow with your application requirements.
- This is false.
- This is true because DynamoDB has all the functionalities of a relational database.
- This is false because a relational database engine on Redshift has more functionalities than DynamoDB
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
This is true. An online game might start out with only a few thousand users and a light database workload consisting of 10 writes per second and 50 reads per second. However, if the game becomes successful, it may rapidly grow to millions of users and generate tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of writes and reads per second. It may also create terabytes or more of data per day.
Developing your applications against Amazon DynamoDB enables you to start small and simply dialup your request capacity for a table as your requirements scales, without incurring downtime.
Amazon DynamoDB gives you the peace of mind that your database is fully managed and can grow with your application requirements.
