What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB is a serverless service completely managed by AWS hence we do not need to worry about scalability, high availability, performance efficiency and resiliency.

It provided built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching that helps in reducing the latency of the application to single-digit microseconds.

Mission-critical applications can make use of DynamoDB to get low-latency data. We can make use of DynamoDB Global Tables and Accelerator to achieve high availability and to reduce costs respectively. Features like a local index and a global index help the querying look more like SQL Database.

DynamoDB Streams help to enable taking actions based on CRUD operation.

It provides the best of both worlds - DynamoDB is both Key-Value and Document NoSQL Database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

It tends to be expensive if not careful. I think it should provide some kind of alerting to notify the users about the cost.

We can use the TTL feature to save some costs but an out-of-the-box feature would be a great help.

The learning curve is a bit steep as it requires knowing other AWS services too for maximum benefit.

Cannot be used or integrated with other cloud vendors like Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure as it is tightly coupled with only AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It enables data high availability in web applications serving different geographic regions.

Real-time data anomaly detection with AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB.

Automated welcome emails to new users logging into our web application.

Updates the leaderboard of the game in real-time.

With millions of records stored in the DynamoDB - the speed is fastest compared to the rivals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

AWS needs to make improvements to its cloud construction tool and interface. The UI's inconsistent offerings are just amateurishly exceptional. I think this is only the thing that AWS need to improve else fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Always double check the details before creating the instance and also very secure in perspective of security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDb is a NoSql type database which is generally very common in almost every company. But few things which forced us to change our old NoSql to Dynamodb are:-

1. High scalability, high availability: A one-click solution as it manages the backend server automatically and you don't have to configure it by yourself.

2. The ease of use with micro services and monolithic architecture, as most of our company's projects is in NodeJs and Nodejs is single threaded so using microservices is the only way and having

Dynamo actually helped.

3. TTL(Time To live): which saved us quite some money as, it is generally a big hassle to manually set those for each and every service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Dynamo is amazing but it also has some problems like:-

1. There is no foreign key concept.

2. Importing and export of raw files.

3. Relatively hard to implement transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest benefit was a decrease of the hassle of manual configuration of many things which were handled by the Dynamo db automatically and also code became relatively shorted because many conditional statements were removed which were handled by Dynamo like for TTL.

Problems solved were:

1. Low latency.

2. Encrypted SSL Connection with DB so security was not an issue anymore.

3.Debugging was way easier than earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
