Amazon DynamoDB : Fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service

 Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio.



Dynamo had a multi-leader design requiring the client to resolve version conflicts and DynamoDB uses synchronous replication across multiple data centers for high durability and availability. 


DynamoDB was announced by Amazon CTO Werner Vogels on January 18, 2012, and is presented as an evolution of Amazon SimpleDB.


DynamoDB differs from other Amazon services by allowing developers to purchase a service based on throughput, rather than storage. If Auto Scaling is enabled, then the database will scale automatically.


To prevent data loss, DynamoDB features a two-tier backup system of replication and long-term storage.

Each partition features three nodes, each of which contains a copy of that partition's data.

Each node also contains two data structures: a B tree used to locate items, and a replication log that notes all changes made to the node.

DynamoDB periodically takes snapshots of these two data structures and stores them for a month in S3 so that engineers can perform point-in-time restores of their databases.

Object serialization in java

Serialization is the conversion of an object to a series of bytes, so that the object can be easily saved to persistent storage or streamed across a communication link. The byte stream can then be deserialized - converted into a replica of the original object. When you want to serialize an object, that respective class should implement the marker interface serializable. It just informs the compiler that this java class can be serialized. You can tag properties that should not be serialized as transient. You open a stream and write the object into it. Code for serialization of a java class : Data.java package com . codetalk . serialization ; import java.io.Serializable ; public class Data implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private String firstName ; private String lastName ; /** * @return the firstName */ public String getFirstName () { return firstName ; } /** * @param firstNam...
