Global replication. Choice between consistency and speed. NoSQL. An API that does what I need and gets out of the way. What's not to love? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Provisioning of read/write units definitely takes attention. It's easy to get throttled without realizing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
high availability and really snappy response times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
pre-configured max read/write, want to have avg line and high mark to accomidate spikes better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's ease of use with the AWS dashboard. You can set triggers for other AWS services like Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve for all AWS services is pretty steep if you haven't used it before. The dashboard can be confusing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
easy to spin up and use serverless nosql database, quick to return results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
used to not like the scaling, but now they have added per request billing. More complex queries require understanding the unique dynamo query apis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it can be to use and setup dynamo. It is almost the only type of "DB" that I use for my small apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel like some operations when working with dyanmo (specifically with the SDKs) are overly complicated. This might be a documentation issue or my misunderstanding of the documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamo is easy to use, integrates seemlessly with other AWS services like lambda and scales infinitely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Could use better management of alarms, where threshold scale automatically with dynamically changing thresholds set by auto scaling, or at least a better UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the speed of Dynamo, and control over the throughput. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's kind of hard to configure, and you have to have a lot o esoteric knowledge about calculating throughput in order to set things up. Also the very specific constraints on keys and queries make it difficult construct a flexible solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the built in Item view for the tables, the management interface in general Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
i needed a special role created so that read only users could modify a specific table. (i didn't want power users just getting handed out anywhere) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
