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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
They provide services from databases like RDS manageable to Aurora & dynamodb when we don't want to manage resources working and watch on it. Also, their UI is pretty good and flow of features in services are awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No good error monitoring tool like Sentry which may help us to have error data secure event better with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
multi A-Z feature
EC2 LBs all in one place along with WAF rules, no need to be dependent on other various teams for LB configuration or setting up other parameters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FORCED MANDATORY UPDATE of
1. MySQL containers
2. Kernel upgrade
3. Too much data for Athena and less way to simplisize it
Try to make the UI a bit better and also give options for graph as in splunk! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
we have spun up a few microservices on DynamoDB for hosting and storing the backend data. DynamoDB gives great options for NoSQL provisioning, without any fail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
its hard to afford DynamoDB for big setups and migrating a MySQL type DB to a DynamoDB service, also the documentation for converting RDBMS DBA to a NoSQL platform is hard to come by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about this Service of AWS is that we get the GUI version which is super helpful when creating tables. We can also integrate with otehr services in AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Thing I did not like about DynamoDB is that it can only be Deployed to AWS and nothing else. Also, The table Joins are impossible in DynamoDB. There are no Triggers available as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and the scalability of the tool are really amazing. We used it for multiple purposes in the organization and it is the backbone of all our services. We can't imagine our organization now without AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be really great if there are more tutorials available for building more complex use cases with ease. Also, we could really use some reusable libraries for existing solutions that we can simple plug and play with least customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamodb will be best suited when every we are migrating legacy systems into cloud mainly AWS so we can store our data in dynamodb which is nosql and create the glue jobs to automatically update the data whenever there is change in source database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It will be difficult to load billions of record at a time from onpremise database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Amazon Dynamo DB is serverless . Hence you pay less compared to servers . It has AutoScalling Feature like other AWS services which will provide resources on demand on the fly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't find any disliking feature of AWS Dynamo DB .It is easy to use . Better than any on prem DBs . It can act as Document DB , key value store and for storing unstructured data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
