Amazon’s DynamoDB NoSQL database is just about a year old<\/a> and Amazon’s cut prices on \u00a0it to celebrate and is now offering reserved capacity if you qualify — you have to run all the instances in one region, for example — and can commit to one- or three-years of usage.<\/p>

Specifically, the company is cutting the cost of reads and writes by 35 percent and indexed storage by 75 percent across all regions. The usual AWS blog <\/a>chart is here:<\/p>

In his blog<\/a>, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels lauded how customers like Shazam have wielded the managed database service.<\/p>

As Vogels told GigaOM last year at the product launch,\u00a0NoSQL suits social gaming and web applications but is also critical for the\u00a0big data applications<\/a>\u00a0demanded by business.<\/p>

Since DynamoDB debuted, Amazon has launched a series of other big data and enterprise-focused services like the newly shipping Data Pipeline <\/a>and promises more as it faces heightened competition from OpenStack players which include legacy IT giants IBM, Red Hat, Hewlett-Packard as well as Rackspace and others. Rackspace just bought into the NoSQL database service with its acquisition of ObjectRocket <\/a>and its MongoDB technology.<\/p>
