What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB Streams is the absolutely amazing feature. It is a mixture of SQS and SNS with builtin retry strategy which allows you to implement Kaizen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen) approach to your solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Luck of SQL like querying. But I heard that Athena service going to support DynamoDB as origin soon. SO should be good soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon DynamoDB:

Consider to use DAX for read and DynamoDB auto-scaling for write throughput. Don't overuse DYnamoDB - sometime it is just enough to use AWS S3 (which is actually durable key/value storage) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly we are using DynamoDB to orchestrate server-less workflow with controlled concurrency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

As far as getting started, it's hard to beat Dyanmo, open the AWS console, make a new table, and start putting data in it from the command line or the various client libraries. The pricing is very simple - the more throughput you want the more you pay. the data model is very flexible, being a subset (representing a superset) of JSON, with the only requirements being that the primary and optional sort keys must be present - everything else is up to the user, allowing the data model to change over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Deciding on how much capacity your particular application will need can be difficult, and from memory changing the values can take a few minutes if you get it wrong and need to respond to excess load. There are some interesting gotchyas too, such as its inability to store empty strings - empty strings should be distinct from non-existent strings so I regard this is a serious flaw in the data model (I'm sure there's a million ways to work around this, and the problem comes from the implementation of a million independent solutions to the problem). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon DynamoDB:

Make sure you understand then limitations of the data model, and querying data. Ensuring your primary key is something which makes sense to shard on is very important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We haven't put Dynamo through its paces as much as I'd like, so far only using it for logging of all HTTP requests to some of our services. When we find the right use case, we'll definitely be keeping it in mind (we're not using it because it doesn't solve the problems we have, not because there's anything wrong with it).
