AWS DynamoDB vs MongoDB: Choosing a NoSQL Database for your business

DynamoDB Vs MongoDB: what is the difference?

The most popular solutions for NoSQL databases are MongoDB and AWS DynamoDB. Both are widely used and offer highly scalable cloud-level service. Your organization's long-term cloud strategy and business-specific application requirements will be the key factor to determine which NoSQL database will work the best.

MongoDB: what you need to know.

Enterprises all over the world choose MongoDB. The database can be implemented on mainframes, on-site, hybrid clouds, and the AWS platform. The distributed scalability, data validation rules, and robust monitoring capabilities address the requirements of Web-based applications in a cloud computing infrastructure. The main capabilities of MongoDB are:

• Distributed automatically shared architecture

• High-availability clusters support 99.995 percent SLA uptime across all cloud providers.

• Minimum of three data nodes per replica package is automatically implemented throughout AWS availability zones for continuous uptime apps.

• Document-oriented database stores information in a binary encoded JSON format that enhances agility and efficiency.

• Natively-run complex queries minimize latency. No additional analytical tools are needed.

• Real-time personalized performance monitoring

Amazon DynamoDB: what are the benefits?

Dynamo DB is a mobile-friendly database that was designed for web, gaming, retail, media, and entertainment, and other businesses that require low-latency data management. DynamoDB simplifies the implementation and maintenance process as part of the AWS system. There are no servers to be provisioned or managed and no software to be installed or maintained. DynamoDB performance is supported by a variety of native AWS features and enhanced by easy integration with other AWS services. Key performance capabilities are:

• Automatically replicated data across AWS.

• Automatically scaled tables to adapt capabilities and preserve efficiency.

• Monthly uptime of 99.999% of SLA for each AWS area.

• The Size of backup does not impact the efficiency or productivity.

• App performance control automatically scales capacity and storage, depending on the traffic value.

Performance: DynamoDB Vs MongoDB

Both MongoDB and DynamoDB are popular NoSQL products offering the performance needed for mission-critical software. MongoDB operates on multiple cloud platforms and offers effective tracking features. Its capability to function across different environments (Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and more), makes it a rational choice for enterprises that maintain their software in multi-cloud environments. DynamoDB is the best option for companies using AWS as their cloud platform. Another benefit that comes along is a smooth integration with other AWS products and automated collaborative management.

The best way to make the right decision is to combine long-term cloud strategy requirements and business-specific needs.

The database is just one element of the complex cloud system. Companies moving to the cloud should leverage cloud computing consulting services. Experienced cloud consultants ensure a smooth transition to the new technology.
