Amazon DynamoDB vs. Apache HBase vs. Apache Kudu vs. Python Comparison Chart

Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed, multi-region, Multimaster, durable database with built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching for internet-scale applications. DynamoDB can handle more than 10 trillion requests per day and can support peaks of more than 20 million requests per second. Many of the world's fastest-growing businesses such as Lyft, Airbnb, and Redfin as well as enterprises such as Samsung, Toyota, and Capital One depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support their mission-critical workloads. Focus on driving innovation with no operational overhead. Build out your game platform with player data, session history, and leaderboards for millions of concurrent users. Use design patterns for deploying shopping carts, workflow engines, inventory tracking, and customer profiles. DynamoDB supports high-traffic, extreme-scaled events.

A Kudu cluster stores tables that look just like tables you're used to from relational (SQL) databases. A table can be as simple as a binary key and value, or as complex as a few hundred different strongly-typed attributes. Just like SQL, every table has a primary key made up of one or more columns. This might be a single column like a unique user identifier, or a compound key such as a (host, metric, timestamp) tuple for a machine time-series database. Rows can be efficiently read, updated, or deleted by their primary key. Kudu's simple data model makes it a breeze to port legacy applications or build new ones, no need to worry about how to encode your data into binary blobs or make sense of a huge database full of hard-to-interpret JSON. Tables are self-describing, so you can use standard tools like SQL engines or Spark to analyze your data. Kudu's APIs are designed to be easy to use.
