To speed access to relevant data, many developers pair Amazon S3 with a database, such
as Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon RDS. Amazon S3 stores the actual information, and the
database serves as the repository for associated metadata (e.g., object name, size,
keywords, and so on). Metadata in the database can easily be indexed and queried, making it

very efficient to locate an object’s reference via a database query. This result can then be
used to pinpoint and then retrieve the object itself from Amazon S3.
