Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service

Amazon DynamoDB global tables with multi-Region strong consistency (MRSC) now supports application resiliency testing with AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS), a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve application performance, observability, and resilience. With this launch, you can create real-world failure scenarios to MRSC global tables, such as during regional failures, enabling you to observe how your applications respond to these disruptions and validate your resilience mechanisms.

MRSC global tables replicate your DynamoDB tables automatically across your choice of AWS Regions to achieve fast, strongly consistent read and write performance, providing you 99.999% availability, increased application resiliency, and improved business continuity. FIS is a fully managed service for running controlled fault injection experiments to improve an application’s performance, observability, and resilience. You can use the new FIS action to observe how your application responds to a pause in regional replication and tune monitoring and recovery processes to improve resiliency and application availability.

MRSC global tables support for FIS is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Paris).
