Amazon DynamoDB Pros and Cons

It's a noSQL database based on key-value data. Fast & reliable due to multi region replication support & quick recovery options. Makes it easier to export, analyse data due to its seemless integration with other AWS services such as S3, elastic, cloudtrail, etc. On top of it, all the data is encrypted at rest so security is fullproof.

Although it can be integrated with other cloud based services as well. Some settings are missing as experienced when I was using GCP cloud storage with dynamoDB for export. (Like folder lifecyling) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Require additional knowledge of the AWS ecosystem, unlike MongoDB, which provides direct server access and easy UI utility for quick view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about AWS is that we get everything in one place. Once we get basic knowledge of all the available services we can set up our entire digital business in the AWS cloud itself. Since AWS provide services on a pay as you go model this reduces the upfront costs for any company and we can simply focus on our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though most of the services are affordable, some services are expensive when we compare their worth to their usage. If we leave the services active without knowledge we might end up paying a hefty amount.Also, I feel if we have an option to shut down/stop all the services or an option to select the active services that can be stopped that will be the best thing.

A big selling factor for me is the simplicity with which a virtual machine can be set up and utilized for software distribution. Dashboard users can keep track of more than just prices and availability by setting up text message notifications for things like server overload and other circumstances. AWS DynamoDB can work without any server hardware because of this functionality. This removes the need to purchase a server in order to utilize Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or Amazon Relational Database Service. If you want to view a certain portion of a website, The service will manage upgrades and backups automatically in accordance with its design. My experience with AWS has been nothing but great. We've been able to deliver solid business services and keep our web apps up and running with minimum downtime thanks to AWS. Using this strategy, you can keep your personal data safer and more secret than you could on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A new user who has just begun using AWS services would benefit more from the documentation if it was provided in a more user-friendly way. For others, the cost may be a barrier, particularly if they do not prepare ahead of time to maximize the advantages. Otherwise, you may find yourself paying for the whole application even if you only use 10% of its capabilities. You have some discretion in the parameters you supply, but it's definitely reasonable to conclude that using it restricts your freedom more than other options. Because it is cloud-based, data is also kept with the cloud provider; nevertheless, that service also takes efforts to ensure the security of the information. Furthermore, hybrid cloud solutions are a potential choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS is one of the best Cloud providers out there in the market. It is helping many small businesses out there to achieve the development of highly scalable products via the many services offered at an affordable price. I like their documentation very much as it's the most detailed documentation I have ever seen and it's pretty self-explainatory. Apart from this their pricing is very competitive as compared to other cloud players in the market. They also provide free Credits which can be consumed on some of their cloud resources for new learners to cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plan your development before using their services otherwise that affordable price will overshoot your monthly budgets within no time, one of the reason can be improper handling of lambda function failures resulting in repetitive invocation of the same.

Charging extra money for technical support is also something not liked by many users and companies starting at an initial level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for SQL-like console & ease of use & API support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full ACID transaction support would be great to see in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon DynamoDB is the best choice when you want to store data as key-value pairs in a database with full reliability and scalability. Since this DB is non-relational so write operation becomes very cost-efficient as no foreign keys will be there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data is in key-value pairs which makes it easy to extract the data but at the same time Joins are not allowed as well as foreign keys are not in Amazon DynamoDB which makes it less flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
