Congrats to the DynamoDB team for going beyond the traditional limits of NoSQL. There is a new breed of databases that use consensus algorithms to enable global multi-region consistency. Google Spanner and FaunaDB where I work are part of this group. I didn’t catch anything about the implementation details of DynamoDB transactions in the article. If they are using a consensus approach, expect them to add multi-region consistency soon. If they are using a traditional active/active replication approach, they’ll be limited to regional replication.
