What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

One of the best things about DynamoDB is its scalability and flexibility. It can easily handle large amounts of data and can scale up or down based on the application's needs without causing any disruption to the service. Additionally, DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service, which means that it takes care of many of the administrative tasks such as backups, software patching, and hardware provisioning, freeing up the developers' time to focus on developing their applications. It also offers features such as automatic scaling, data encryption, and multi-region support, making it a reliable and secure choice for data storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Data Modelling is tough, we need to properly model data to meet our requirements and limited query options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ours is a startup and we are not in a place where we figure out the issues and chose DB, our first choice was DynamoDB for its NoSQL architecture and stores huge data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Fast

Milli second response, DAX is added advantage, Global tables, and partition keys.

Highly scalable based on demand. Encryption at rest and transit make sense.

DynamoDB streams make it even easy for further processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

It will ensure you pay if you are someone who has a lot of reads and writes in frequent intervals without DAX.

It will not help with complex querying operations.

If you are someone who is from MySQL, it will be too difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

DynamoDB with you no schema makes it easy to add new attributes and also instead of manually running the queries to delete a few records, TTL even makes it too easy.

Welcome emails through DynamoDB streams along with lambda and SNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Scalability: Never worried about scale as the database can increase or decrease based on workload demands

Performance: As our application requires real-time responses and has high throughput, With DynamoDB, we always get consistent low-latency access

Flexible data model: As it is a NoSQL database, offering a flexible schema design. It allows you to store and retrieve data with varying structures, making it adaptable to different use cases without extensive migrations etc

Integration with AWS ecosystem: It seamlessly integrates with other AWS services, such as AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon Redshift, allowing us to build comprehensive and scalable applications using various AWS tools and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Pricing model: pricing models are a little complex and require careful monitoring and optimisation to control costs, especially for applications with high throughput

Query flexibility: It is optimised for key-value access patterns and has limitations regarding complex querying and search capabilities. Secondary indexes and query expressions can help overcome some of these limitations, but it's essential to design the data model carefully to ensure efficient queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helped us solve the communication channel problem; we primarily use it for our communication service, where we need to orchestrate in which channel we should send the communication message, we store the user channel specific information in DynamoDB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Performance: DynamoDB delivers low-latency performance, making it suitable for applications that require fast and responsive data access. It uses solid-state drives (SSDs) to ensure quick response times, even with high throughput and large data volumes.

Fine-grained control over throughput: DynamoDB enables us to adjust the provisioned throughput capacity on tables based on our application's requirements. This allows us to scale the read and write capacity independently to optimize performance and cost-effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

Limited local development options: DynamoDB is a cloud-based service provided by AWS. While it offers local development options using DynamoDB Local or DynamoDB Local Secondary Indexes, these options may not fully replicate the behavior and performance of the production environment, which can be a challenge for development and testing purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As already informed Scalability and Performance are the key things that benefit me: Traditional relational databases can face challenges when it comes to scaling horizontally to handle large amounts of data or high traffic loads. DynamoDB addresses this problem by offering seamless scalability and providing consistent, low-latency performance even with large datasets and high throughput requirements. This scalability allows applications to handle sudden spikes in traffic and effectively manage growing datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is a good fit for us as we needed a highly scalable and performant NoSQL database with minimal management overhead. It handles everything and solves the headache of managing and we can concentrate on application development alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB has certain limits on item size (400 KB) and attribute count per item. If you need to store large amounts of data per item. In this case, we may need to implement additional strategies, such as storing objects in Amazon S3 and referencing them in DynamoDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Though Amazon DynamoDB is primarily known as a key-value store, we used it as a document database. Thanks to its flexible schema and support for nested data structures. DynamoDB allows us to store and retrieve documents with varying structures within the same table. It has high performance, good indexing and high availability. The main benefit of DynamoDB for us is it helps us to solve the managing problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
