In a recent blog post , Amazon announced changes to its NoSQL database service, DynamoDB, that includes support for Time to Live (TTL) on data stored in the service. Deleting data, based upon time-based thresholds, provides opportunities for organizations to reduce storage costs for data that decreases in value over time.
Having a serverless database service that can scale lends itself to use cases in Ad Tech, Gaming, IoT and applications requiring low latency data access. One use case that Amazon calls out is Lyft and how they have migrated to DynamoDB to persist GPS data for its Ride Location Tracking System.
A challenge that organizations have with applications that have short-term data bursts is data retention.
