It just means that we offer an HTTP based API, so you don't need to do connection pooling. This is convenient for serverless apps, because they can't hold onto a connection.

Yes, we do want to be an alternative to DynamoDB global tables, but with a more flexible data model. The in-region writes/reads are consistent, the replication to the analytics/search engine as well as replicating between regions are eventually consistent.
- dabeeeenster 5y agoThanks for the reply. Feedback would definitely be to include this sort of technical detail on the site! Would love to dive into the details of how you guys are doing DNS resolution (latency based routing?) how many regions you have, if we have control over how many regions we replicate to etc. We are building a global edge API for https://flagsmith.com/ https://flagsmith.com/ and this is a great candidate for a data platform for us.
