What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon Dynamo DB is very easy to use. We use it to store all our different sites information in a table with different details for each site. One thing that I like about the dynamo DB is the item detail retrieval time is very less. This helps improve the performance of the API services we have in our environment. We have some time sensitive applications and Dynamo DB helps to keep the data queries to as minimal as possible. All the data in the Dynamo DB can be encrypted which helps get easy approval form our Security team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Based on the usage in our environment, I have not come across anything that I would dislike about the Dynamo DB. We have seen the difference when we use a SQL based DB and the dynamo DB. Dynamo DB is always the better DB among the NoSql DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon DynamoDB:

I could not think of any other recommendations for the dynamo DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

All our network services are exposed through an Amazon API gateway. So every time someone wants to use our API services, they call the API and each API call is stored as a job in our Dynamo DB. This Job id is provided to the client and they can check the status of the API by doing a get on the Job ID. Apart from storing these Job ID, we create multiple sites in our transit environment. These sites are stored in the Dynamo DB table with lot of details regarding the site. One big benefit, I have seen is we do not have a manage DB server in order to run the above services in our environment. All the data inside the DB is also encrypted which another adde benefit.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is offered as part of AWS services. It is particularly of interest if you are looking for a non-relational database. It is used very often when you do not have the complete picture sorted out about the columns or values or how many variables are going to be there. It is basically a database where you can define the table name, partition, and Index and get started. You do not have to worry about Metadata or anything which you need in relational databases.

Another reason for adapting this is because it works with almost all the AWS services like Lamda, API gateway, S3, etc. Since JSON is a major component of the tool, it integrates very well with web projects where speed is the key factor. You do not need to worry about the scalability of this product. You can just keep entering your data and it will automatically keep scaling without compromising on the query speed. Security and Availability are also amongst the best because it is backed by amazon of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Although storing unstructured data is the main purpose of this database, but once the data gets massive and you need to make a query. then it is not very efficient because there aren't many relations between the key/value pairs.

You need to go through proper documentation to understand what it is capable of and if required taken few sessions from the Amazon tech team as well for the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon DynamoDB:

The search for a non-relational database ends here. If you are already using AWS services then this could be a perfect fit for you and integrate perfectly with your already existing services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We always felt the need for a database where you can just start storing the data and figure out the details as we move along the project. Amazon DynamoDB has just done that for us. It has integrated so well with Amazon API Gateway and we were already using JSON as the main language which further helped to fasten the query process and decrease the response time and increased the performance significantly. We never had any complaints of data breach or hack because Amazon takes care of that with its highest level of sophisticated security and makes sure that the data is always available 24*7.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is quite simply a non-relational database as a service offered by Amazon or you can also say, it is a NoSQL database. The best part is that it doesn't require any installation or server or any kind of preordered hardware. Getting started on it is really simple, all you need to do is put down a table name and start assigning key/value pair to the table.

The Scalability and availability are other top features of this service. It never goes down and you can increase or decrease the number of reads and writes based on your project needs.

The Security offered by Amazon is top-notch and you can choose the latest algorithm which you want to apply to protect your real-time data as well.

The benefit of using NoSQL is that you can store semi-structured to unstructured data as well and the data can grow as much as it wants because Amazon scales very well without giving any issues while doing so.

It supports JSON and there it is a perfect fit for web development and building new web pages with amazing data transfer speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is really helpful in certain situations, but you need to be very careful while opting for this because the cost of querying is relatively higher and if you want to query on regular basis then this might not be a good fit.

Second writing complex queries can be a nightmare, and you need good developers who have prior knowledge and experience to write scripts for the same.

The Joins are also not supported in this service which is a major issue of concern if you are used to applying joins on data in an SQL environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon DynamoDB:

If you are looking for a NoSQL solution which doesn't require any installation, serverless, high availability and scalability and integrates with your existing AWS ecosystem and provides super-fast data transfer speed with top-notch security then this is the right product for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon DynamoDB has benefited us in various ways. First is obviously the cost factor because we did not have to purchase everything in advance by guessing how much will be required throughout the project. The scalability, availability, and performance have been second to none.

The security offered by Amazon is superb and our clients are also very much happy with that.

The speeds of data transfer are amazing and that results in faster response time and almost zero lag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

AWS DynomoDB is great for NoSQL database. It is a native AWS service that provide NoSQL service. I like it easy to set up, and to manage. You can create a table very easily and simply add key/value pair to a table. AWS is providing the service, not the product. That said, you do not have to worry about data durability. You just tell AWS what data you want to store and it will take care of the rest including security, scaling. Like RDS is the relational database service not the product.

It has good price. You do not pay a lot using DynomoDb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

I have not found anything I do not like for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
