Jon Christensen and Chris Hickman of Kelsus and Rich Staats of Secret Stache conclude their series on the birth of NoSQL and DynamoDB. They compare the NoSQL database, Leviathan, created by Chris’s startup in the late 1990s to today’s DynamoDB. A lot of things haven’t changed, even though technology has evolved. It’s cyclical.

“We had the same kind of problems that DynamoDB had - how do you scale your database dealing with Internet-scale applications and have this virtual pool of infinite storage that can be scaled out.” Chris Hickman
“This system and this technology went through many iterations.” Chris Hickman
“You can’t have a 100% consistent state across everything. It’s just impossible. How do you do the right thing?” Chris Hickman
“The big difference between DynamoDB and Leviathan...is the request router and partition metadata system living on the server vs. living out at the edge.” Jon Christen
