What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

With DynamoDB you can be relieved of the admin burden of operating and scaling, you wouldn't be thinking about the hardware allocation, purchasing.

DynamoDB is scalable which translates to unlimited storage, It scales horizontally meaning a single table expands over multiple servers. The data gets automatically replicated across multiple availability zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The primary issue with DynamoDB is that it is only deployable on AWS you may not be able to install on individual servers or desktops & very limited querying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
