DynamoDB Eventually Consistency Reads for new items

0

I did try to search this in AWS documentation and answers, would like to confirm my interpretation of this.

We know Amazon S3 offers Read after Write consistency for new objects, does Amazon DynamoDB Eventually Consistent Reads behave in the same way?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/HowItWorks.ReadConsistency.html

As per the documentation it seems like that specific condition is not called out and all Eventually Consistent Reads seem to behave the same way whether new Items or updates to existing Items.

The documentation is correct, eventually consistent reads behave the same way for new items or updates to existing items. The beauty of Amazon DynamoDB is that you can chose to do a consistent read when it's needed.

  • "when it's needed" - except when its needed on a GSI :-) As GSI's do not support consistent reads
