About

Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL database service that supports key-value and document data models for applications requiring predictable low-latency performance at any scale.

It provides automatic scaling, single-digit millisecond response times, global tables for multi-region replication, secondary indexes, ACID transactions, and in-memory acceleration through DynamoDB Accelerator.

Couchbase is a distributed NoSQL database that was created in 2011 as a fork of CouchDB and designed for high-performance, scalable applications using JSON data.

It combines a document store with key-value access, supports SQL++ queries with joins and ACID transactions, includes built-in services for full-text search, analytics, and event processing, and uses a memory-first architecture with managed caching, clustering, and cross data center replication for low-latency operations and high availability.
