What is Dynamodb used for internally? Looks like it's being used for fulfillment and checkout as well. Is Amazon entirely based out of Dynamodb nosql ?
According to this Amazon job listing [1], DynamoDB isn't even the biggest (in terms of throughput) data store that Amazon uses. [1] https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/447605/systems-engineer
> SABLE is at the core of Amazon.com retail infrastructure. It more than 400 billion requests per day from Amazon.com websites, Web Services, and internal Amazon systems.
Hi My name is Julian Houston, am from upper island cove , Canada.. I want to
Use this opportunity to thank God for using this Great prophet to solve my
Marriage problem. This Great Prophet of God brought my husband back to me.
3 years ago, i and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until
he finally left me for one lady. I felt my life was over and my kids
thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just
for the kids but i could not control the pains that was tormenting my
heart. My heart was filled with sorrows and pains, because i was really in
love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he
would come back to me. Until one day i melt a good friend of mine that was
once in my situation, but her problem was different a little bite, her
ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for refused to take
responsibility and dumped her. She told me that mine issue was a minor case
and that i shouldn't worry about it at all. So, i asked her what was the
solution to my problems and she gave me this Great Prophet of God phone
number and his email address. I was doubting if this Great Prophet of God
could actually solve my problem. So, I contacted this Great Prophet of God
and he told me what to do and i did it. He told me to wait for just four
days and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for
forgiveness. So, I faithfully did what this Great Prophet of God asked me
to do and for sure after four days i heard a knock on the door, in a great
Surprise i saw him on his knees and i was speechless, when he saw me, all
he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the
pains and sorrows in my heart flew away, since then i and my husband and
our lovely kids are happy. That why i want to say thank you to God
for using Prophet Ikehedu .to solve my marriage problem. This Great Prophet
of God made me to understand that there’s no problem on earth that does not
Have solution. So, if you are having same problem, any problem that is
Similar, i will advise you to a contact This Great Prophet of God straight

Something I appreciate very much with AWS is how much dogfooding Amazon does. In contrast, Google has said in the past that GCP is not used by Google engineers (and it shows, occasionally GCP goes down but actual Google products do not!). There is also no clear indication that Microsoft is actively using the public deployment of Azure.
I'm not going to say you're lying but I think you're being eh misleading. This investigation is happening due to increased scrutiny of the Whole Foods merger and isn't a formal investigation by the FTC. Effectively the FTC is required to do its due diligence and the FTC has not accused Amazon of anything. It's some third-party group making the accusation.
> A study conducted by Consumer Watchdog in March found that for 61% of Amazon AMZN, -2.48% products, the pre-discounted price or “reference price” used for comparison with the new sale price was higher than what the products had been sold for in the past 90 days. This means the amount Amazon advertises under “you save” could be inaccurate. Amazon said the prices reflect averages of prices listed by competitors and o…
This sounds pretty tame to me. Hardly the Deep Throat moment you're making it out to be. In fact, I'd wager that most retailers probably do this for big sales events.

I miss SABLE. I like it better than DDB, but I'm probably in the minority there. It made building high throughput services easy. I'm somewhat surprised it mentioned publicly.
Is Amazon comfortable enough to create single point of failure. What if DDB goes down assuming they run same stack for both retail and AWS?
They introduce change one region at a time usually. DDB did have outage many times and brought half of AWS operations down. But good question how they kept Amazon.com alive if some part of their systems rely on DDB.

> What if DDB goes down
It's worth clarifying that question. What does "Go Down" mean? One region is down? Is it a bad software bug?
The database itself is fault tolerant. Nodes can go down all day without any real consequence. Each region is isolated, so a failure in one region won't affect other regions.
I guess I'm at a loss for the type of failure with DDB that would make it a SPOF, especially more than other datastores.

Part of is because gcp became a product much later in google's history. As a result, most of the products that were used were tied to internal google infra, and was hard to put on gcp.

I think this will gradually change. Kubernetes came out of all the internal learning after all, I would be surprised if they aren't putting new greenfield stuff on GCP and other Google Cloud products.
