> What if DDB goes down
It's worth clarifying that question. What does "Go Down" mean? One region is down? Is it a bad software bug?
The database itself is fault tolerant. Nodes can go down all day without any real consequence. Each region is isolated, so a failure in one region won't affect other regions.
I guess I'm at a loss for the type of failure with DDB that would make it a SPOF, especially more than other datastores.
