About the Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)

 DAX is designed to accelerate read-heavy and bursty DynamoDB workloads by providing microsecond latency for eventually consistent reads, significantly improving application responsiveness. It is fully compatible with DynamoDB API, requiring minimal or no code changes, making integration seamless for existing DynamoDB users. DAX handles caching, replication, failover, and cluster maintenance as a fully managed service. Use cases include gaming, ad-tech, IoT, and e-commerce where read performance is critical. It supports encryption at rest and in transit, with strong security features aligned with AWS best practices.
