The one-size-fits-all approach of using relational databases for
every application no longer works. Modern applications must
consider social, mobile, IoT, and global access. Purpose-built
database models are designed to perform the specific functions
these applications require—more efficiently than relational
databases. Today's developers need diverse data models that
match a variety of use cases. Finding the right tool for the job
can be challenging, but we hope this document helps you
simplify the process.
Why so many developers choose AWS
AWS offers a broad range of database services that are purpose-
built for every major use case. These fully managed services
allow you to build applications that scale easily and provide deep
functionality—so you get the high availability, performance,
reliability, and security required by production workloads.
