Background database for AWS AppSync

I would like to know what is the background database that AWS AppSync uses to store data on the cloud? I didn't find this info in documentation.

Thanks.

AppSync currently supports Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Elasticsearch, and AWS Lambda. With AppSync, you attach existing AWS resources to your API as "data sources" and then use AppSync resolvers to connect your GraphQL API to the underlying data source. For ease of use, AppSync also provides a feature that helps you deploy a DynamoDB table with the same shape as a type in your schema and will automatically register the data source and wire it up with resolvers on your behalf.

One of the great features of GraphQL is that it provides a single, unified protocol through which you can talk to any number of backend systems and AppSync embraces that philosophy.

Hope this helps.
