AWS DynamoDB was integrated by Mindflow to enable users to automate their incident management and better protect their information system.

AWS DynamoDB Overview

AWS DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service providing fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. 

It softens the burdens of operating and scaling a distributed database by taking care of hardware provisioning, setup and configuration, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling. 

DynamoDB also offers encryption at rest. It eliminates the operational burden and complexity involved in protecting sensitive data.

With it, you can create database tables that can store and retrieve any amount of data and serve any level of request traffic. You can scale up or scale down your tables’ throughput capacity without downtime or performance degradation. 

The AWS Management Console can monitor resource utilization and performance metrics.

DynamoDB also provides on-demand backup capability to create full backups of your tables for long-term retention and archival for regulatory compliance needs. You can create on-demand backups and enable your tables’ point-in-time (up to the last 35 days) recovery to protect them from accidental write or delete operations.

It allows you to delete expired items from tables automatically to help you reduce storage usage and the cost of storing data that is no longer relevant.

You can combine AWS Backup and AWS DynamoDB by opting in to configure backup policies and monitor activity for your AWS resources and on-premises workloads in one place.

Benefits

With DynamoDB encrypt at rest all user data stored in tables, indexes, streams, and backups to provide an additional layer of data protection.

Consider client-side encryption if you store sensitive or confidential data in DynamoDB, you might want to encrypt that data as close as possible to its origin so that your data is protected throughout its lifecycle, in transit and at rest, to help ensure that your plaintext data isn’t available to any third party.
