This video will introduce you to the Map Suite DynamoDB Extension limited technology preview. This exciting new extension leverages Amazon's DynamoDB, a NoSQL cloud database technology, to store and serve GIS spatial data via the cloud. The extension's ability to use a few API calls to create a spatial table, import data and then access it without a traditional spatial database or hardware is a huge step forward.

ThinkGeo's research and development group has released a limited technology preview successfully leveraging Amazon's new DynamoDB cloud database for storing and serving GIS spatial data.

Worldwide interest was generated in January when Amazon announced DynamoDB, a NoSQL cloud database, as it promised a reliable, fast, scalable database with near zero administration or setup. Leveraging this technology, ThinkGeo's newly-released ability to use a few API calls to create a spatial table, import data and then access it without a traditional spatial database or hardware is a huge step forward.
