What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Since our whole system was on AWS, therefore it made sense to use feature-packed DynamoDB to fulfil our use case for no-SQL DB. Since we don't have to invest time in multi-cloud infrastructure and managing that in the case of DynamoDB. We can invest that time in making our product and its performance better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

If you have to create a complex structure with multiple aggregation queries and huge data set then DynamoDB is not a good choice. Also, the documentation for implementation in various languages could be improved with some tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need DynamoDB to store basic key values for our URL shortener service and some other project for document storage without much of a hassle. Selecting DynamoDB has freed us from efforts on the infrastructure and scalability part. And setting up along with other services we are using as part of AWS made it a whole lot easier.

Products used within AWS Cloud: Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon DynamoDB
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

Overall experience using AWS is excellent. AWS helps us to run seamlessly web applications and provide great business services. It provides a good level of security and data privacy which could be a bit harder to implement when implemented by self. Also, the fact that it takes just a few minutes process to run a VM and get your products deployed and ready for use. In AWS you can find almost everything, so one doesn't need to go to any other server to get things done. The tutorial videos provided are informative and easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

There is nothing major, but I find the documentation to be a little bit intimidating and it might get a lot technical. For better usability, one has to have a strong knowledge of it. It could be more beneficial for a new user who has just started using AWS services if the documentation was slightly friendlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Cloud:

AWS is robust and easy to use and provides solutions for most of the problems. A new user can start by completing certification, get recognized in the industry and start implementing his/her projects and daily workflows using services offered by Amazon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very helpful in the deployment and maintenance of microservices and web apps, which keeps the entire product up and running. A large amount of data is also stored which can be accessed whenever required. One of the best things about AWS is there is hardly any downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Best thing working with dynamoDB is it's in memory cache. It is flawless and convenient to quickly setup dynamodb and within moments you are ready with running system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The only thing I will complain about is that Dynamodb is not available for the local system. Once I needed to do some POC offline and could not do it because of the restriction of deployment on AWS only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In Glue, I need to parse some broker files for each client in a single day. This broker file is standard, and all the ETL process is redundant. So for a unique key (including file modified timestamp), I created a cache and used it on every client process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
