We don't have a paper on DynamoDB's internals (yet?), but here's a talk you might find interesting from one of the folks who built and ran DDB for a long time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvBR71D0nAQ

And Doug Terry talking through the details of how DynamoDB's transaction protocol works: https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast19/presentation/terry

If we did publish more about the internals of DDB, what would you be looking to learn? Architecture? Operational experience? Developer experience? There's a lot of material we could share, and it's useful to hear where people would like us to focus.

All of it - architecture, operational experience, best practices etc.
Just want to second this. All of the above sounds really interesting to me!
