What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

- significantly less latency (single-digit millisecond) compared to other similar databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

- The one thing I am not very fan of is eventual consistency meaning that any change in the data might take some time to reflect in all read operations, although you can avoid that by having strongly consistent reads but it will affect the performance, so it is a tradeoff between performance and consistency which is not suited for some applications which needs high consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon DynamoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted a very fast and flexible NoSQL database for our applications to store and retrieve data (Both Document and key value) and DynamoDB is very good at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

I appreciate how easy it is to scale up or down my capacity based on my application's needs. The automatic partitioning of data across servers is also a major plus, as it helps to ensure high availability and performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB can also be a challenge to work with at times. Querying and filtering data can be complex, and there is a bit of a learning curve to understanding how to effectively model your data for optimal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a NoSQL database, DynamoDB allows for automatic partitioning of data, making it easy to scale up or down based on application needs. This makes it well-suited for applications with unpredictable traffic patterns, where the database workload can fluctuate greatly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The main problem that I faced with DynamoDB is that it has limited querying options and that it had a size limit of 400kb for an item that couldn't be increased. I faced some issues in predicting the costs also which was a very crucial part as I didn't have much funding back then and even now, it is a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
