What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
Dynamodb has proved to be quite efficient in both cost and retrieval time for our healthcare usecase where we deal with millions of write and read. We do use other cloud datalake for relational data storage but this has the best interoperability within AWS infra Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Can't do complex querying when we have scenarios to retrieve data on a table using data from another table. I guess that warrants relational db, but would like to relate on the keys atleast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
High scalability, high availability. A one-click solution that doesn't require us to manage any backend servers. Reliable and scalable while providing ACID transactions. Automatic sharding saves a lot of time and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Query performance and speed could be improved. No control over how data is portioned. It is costly for multi-environment setups. Regular monitoring is also needed to ensure costs do not go through the roof. Multi-region backups would be a nice improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
Manually maintaining a self-hosted version of MongoDb is a hassle and also comes with a bunch of security risks if best practices are not followed.
Hence, DynamoDb comes as a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
It's still a closed source. Hence, there may be some vendor locking mentality among enterprises may arise. However, it's not in our case. We fully use this without any worry in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
It's cost effective, serverless and highly scalable with virtually unlimited throughput. Migration/scaling of DB is safe when compared to that of SQL DBs where sclaing in terms of storage is very risky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Auto-scaling of allowed throughput. DynamoDB, though has scallable DB in terms of size, the auto-scaling for allowed throughput takes ~30sec if the requirement is large. Because of this delay, most of the requests during this time, errors out with throttling error. Hence, for services with unpredictable throughputs, DynamoDB has a down side Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?
Access control is fine grained with table owner concept. Seemless upgrades will smoothen the maintenance. TTL is an amazing feature which will save our life in this big data era.no need to purge manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?
Absence of foreign keys is one thing i dislike. Most importantly, there is no join allowed. Joined although taxable should exist for debugging purpose. Since it's schemaless sometimes i encounter issues. An option to make a table schemaless or with schema could have been there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
