# DynamoDB Global Table

DynamoDB Global Table is a fully managed, multi-region, and multi-active database resource in AWS. It automatically replicates your DynamoDB tables across selected AWS regions, enabling low-latency data access and high availability for globally distributed applications. This resource helps ensure disaster recovery, fault tolerance, and seamless scalability without the need for complex replication setups.
