Real-World Example

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

All are managed NoSQL databases designed for high throughput and low latency. DynamoDB and Cosmos DB are multi-model/key-value style services with automatic scaling options; Bigtable is a wide-column NoSQL database optimized for very large analytical/operational workloads; OCI NoSQL is a managed key-value/document database. Feature sets differ (data models, global replication, query capabilities), but they serve similar needs: fast, scalable NoSQL storage without managing servers.
