About

Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, NoSQL, fully managed database service that supports key-value and document data models.

The Firebase Realtime Database is a NoSQL cloud-hosted database developed by Google.

It stores data as JSON, synchronizes updates in real time across all connected clients, supports built-in offline persistence so apps continue working without network, and scales to around 200,000 concurrent client connections and 1,000 writes per second in a single database.
