Dynamo (storage system)

Dynamo is a set of techniques that together can form a highly available key-value structured storage system[1] or a distributed data store.[1] It has properties of both databases and distributed hash tables (DHTs). It was created to help address some scalability issues that Amazon experienced during the holiday season of 2004.[2] By 2007, it was used in Amazon Web Services, such as its Simple Storage Service (S3).[1]
