What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB is priced on a pay-as-you-go basis. You are charged for the amount of data you store and the number of requests you make. DynamoDB also offers a free tier that allows you to store up to 25 GB of data and make up to 25 million requests per month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The lack of support for ACID transactions. DynamoDB does not support ACID transactions. This means that if you make a change to a record in DynamoDB, it is possible that the change will not be reflected in all of the replicas of the record. This can be a problem for applications that require data consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I benefit from Amazon DynamoDB in a number of ways. First, it allows me to build scalable and available applications without having to worry about managing capacity or performance. Second, it provides single-digit millisecond latency for reads and writes, which ensures that my applications are responsive to my users. Third, it offers a wide range of security features, which helps to protect my data from unauthorized access. Fourth, it is a cost-effective database service, which means that I only pay for the resources that I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Creating jobs are smooth. We just have to fill a JSON form with basic details and that's it. Every column is self explanatory so no additional guidance is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

There may be some areas which are not explored by me, otherwise I didn't find any thing wrong. Well yes one thing you guys can work on is some improvement on the query side of it. When we fetch an existing dynamodb job under tables-> explore table items-> query and then name of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon Dynamodb give me leverage to create changeable database tables which is easy for me to work in data engineering. If a new columns come up or is deleted, I can directly change the DDL in curate sql in the JSON form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

I use DynamoDB to store customer-sensitive information, so security is our top priority. We use API to store information in DynamoDB, so the process is not too complicated and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

I dislike nothing significant about Amazon DynamoDB; I only want to mention here that the UI can be more straightforward. Rest all the features and functionalities can be understood easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I said, we use DynamoDB to store customer-related information, which can include user credentials, so it needs to be secure, and the accessibility needs to be robust. DynamoDB helps us to maintain all these information using API's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

AmazonDynamoDB allows you to autoscale by tracking how close your usage is to the upper bounds. This also allows our system to adjust the data traffic amount, which also helps us avoid performance issues when costs get reduced. With Streams, we can easily use the API to make changes to a full-text search data store such as elastic search, push incremental backups to amazon s3, or maintain up-to-date read-cache. It also offers seamless data replication, replicating data in 3 availability zones within a single region. It is secure database service as it follows demonstrated security guidelines while adhering to multiple globally recognized regulatory compliance like PCI DSS, HIPAA and NIST Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

AmazonDynamoDB has some limitations and challenges. I have limited query support, expensive transactions and limited secondary indexing, which may require additional work. Another rule of AmazonDynamoDB is that it does not support complex transactions that involve multiple items or tables. Also, it is expensive since they are charged per read/write operation. Lastly, AmazonDynamoDB is designed to be a key-value store and does not support complex query operations like common SQL databases. It provides a query API for retrieving data based on a single partition key. There should be a feature that can convert to JSON when we export the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As AmazonDynamoDB is serverless, we don't have to manage the server at the time of deployment. Due to this time, effort gets reduced so that we will become more productive. Also, it handles large amounts of data traffic and computes it as and when required. Also it is powerful, highly scalable and cost effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Performance and Scalability: One of Amazon DynamoDB's best qualities is its seamless scaling to accommodate heavy workloads. Even with enormous datasets, it can handle high traffic and give consistently quick performance because it intelligently distributes data across numerous servers.

Fully Managed Service: Because DynamoDB is a fully managed database service, Amazon handles all infrastructure management responsibilities like deploying hardware, patching software, and replicating data. As a result, developers are free to concentrate entirely on creating apps without having to worry about the supporting infrastructure.

DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that offers flexibility in managing structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It is a NoSQL database. It uses a key-value store model and is appropriate since it supports wide-column structures and documents.w Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

1. DynamoDB can be costly because of its high read and write throughput given the fact that Amazon charges based on throughput capacity, storage

2. As all noSQL Databases you have to be very specific about the queries that you fire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a system that uses DynamoDB as a data store coming from Kafka topics and then modified using pyspark job and then pass on the structured data from dynamoDB to a visualization tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
