Cohesity DataProtect as a service now supports Amazon DynamoDB

Amazon DynamoDB is powering the next generation of serverless, high-speed applications, from e-commerce transactions to IoT platforms. But as data volume and business reliance grow, protecting it in a way that’s affordable, compliant, and resilient to threats is not as easy as it sounds.

Customers often bump into major obstacles when relying solely on cloud-native options. Tools like AWS Backup and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) help with basic protection, but they come with serious drawbacks:

• Every backup, whether it is a full or incremental, incurs additional cost.
• Retention maxes out at 35 days, which can’t meet most compliance or audit requirements. 
• No cross-region recovery limits disaster recovery options. 

The result? Some teams skip backups altogether, or create costly, brittle manual processes.
