NoSQL Databases
NoSQL databases are designed to be used across large distrusted systems. They are notably much more scalable and much faster and handling very large data loads than traditional relational databases.
- 9.2Performance(69) Ratings
How fast the database performs under data load
- 9.4Availability(70) Ratings
Availability is the probability that the NoSQL database will be available to preform its function when called upon.
- 8.8Concurrency(68) Ratings
Concurrency is the ability for multiple processes to access or change shared data simultaneously. The greater the number of concurrent user processes that can execute without blocking each other, the greater the concurrency of the database system.
- 9Security(70) Ratings
Security features include authentication against external security mechanisms liker LDAP, Windows Active Directory, and authorization or privilege management. Some NoSQL databases also support encryption.
- 9.4Scalability(69) Ratings
NoSQL databases are inherently more stable than relational databases and have built-in support for replication and partitioning of data to support scalability.
- 8.5Data model flexibility(67) Ratings
NoSQL databases do not rely on rely on tables, columns, rows, or schemas to organize and retrieve data, but use use more flexible data models to accommodate the large volume and variety of data being generated by modern applications.

- Ties you into AWS infrastructure
If you need quick noSQL for serverless applications, DynamoDB is a good option to consider
- Auto-scaling is done almost instantly, it’s magical.
- Works really well with serverless apps on AWS Lambdas
- It’s surprisingly transactional and support streams processing
- It’s not cheap at all. You must be careful with billing
- Not for large data
- Backup restoration is slow.
DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed and NOSQL database.
- fully manageable
- i can easily monitor operation in DynamoDB
- Secure
- Limited Storage option
- Estimating costs is difficult and time-consuming.
Amazing self-managing DB.
- Self-management makes it really easy to operate with.
- High-performance even at the time of traffic spikes.
- Reliable as it has low latency tendencies.
- Pricing using an on-demand plan can be tuned a little better for low cost.
- Managing an on-demand plan can be a little punishing.
- Limited size and data types are not the best to work with.
Streamlined Webhook Configuration with DynamoDB
- Storing JSON Documents
- Good web-based UI for queries and administration
- Easy integration with multiple technologies and frameworks
- The record size is quite low in comparison with other solutions
- It will be great if it provides schema validation.
But if you're out of the AWS ecosystem you should consider other solutions.
- High availibility
- Seamless data replication
- Simple to implement
- Fully managed - (managed by aws as its serverless)
- Provide bulk delete data capability on console
- Data migration from different db provider
- Difficult to analyze the cost
The database is always replicated to 3 different regions seamlessly and without interrupting or slowing down the main database.
Amazon DynamoDB fast, flexible NoSQL database service
- Key-value and document data models
- Serverless
- Secondary indexes
- For our use evrything was great
- We did not see things for improvement
Wahts more as we use it, its great for indexing other complex data base or data sets.
Best in business!
- The latency for read and write operations is almost negligible.
- Management becomes easy due to features like data recovery and fault tolerance.
- On-demand scalability is an excellent feature.
- If not monitored properly, one can get unexpected costs as per the on-demand model.
- One can populate a table up to a limited size. Larger size would require a partition,
- Learning Amazon DynamoDB and understanding it properly can take quite a while
For a fast, reliable, and dynamic database schema needs, DynamoDB is your solution!
- regional replication
- backups
- high availability
- must be hosted in the cloud, no on-premise option.
"very high efficient and scalable RDS database i.e. Amazon DynamoDB"
- It functions on NoSQL.
- Key-value pair
- Server-less database
- no need to manage operating system
- no need to maintain server also.
- good for IOT devices.
- can be more better for mobile service in offline mode.
- Query optimization should be more effective
- Data migration can be more fast and during migration service will be active.
- It is best suitable for large database, nor for small scale
In my opinion, it is not suited for small databases because it will cost much more. High cost if not properly used.
A perfect cloud DB
- Data storage and retrival
- Scalability
- availability
- performance
- More pre-defined functions for ETL SCD option
- More datatype support
- configuration and setup can be made simple

DynamoDB is ideal for web and mobile applications that experience rapid and unpredictable traffic spikes. Its ability to auto-scale in response to demand ensures consistent performance under heavy loads.
DynamoDB is well-suited for managing user sessions and user profiles in applications, ensuring quick access to session data without compromising performance.
Less appropriate:
DynamoDB is optimized for storing structured data but may not be the best choice for storing large binary files like images, videos, or documents. In such cases, using a dedicated storage service like Amazon S3 is more appropriate.
If your application has consistent and predictable workloads that do not require frequent scaling, the cost-effectiveness of DynamoDB's on-demand pricing model may be less appealing compared to provisioned capacity.
Best Database in Market!
- To manage varying workloads, it enables users to increase capacity as necessary and decrease it as needed.
- Users can take advantage of its auto-scaling, in-memory caching, and backup without paying for the services of a database administrator.
- We can use it for low scale operations.
- I would say a better user interface
- Better data management
- Scan operations should be more efficient
Feature packed with amazing service!
- It handles huge amount of data generated by IoT devices very well.
- Makes it easy to use data for real-time analytics.
- Automatically increasing scaling capacity is a bonus for handling traffic spikes
- Making decisions on whether to choose on-demand pricing or not.
- Overriding administrative tasks manually.
- There is always room for discounts if scalability is high.
DynamoDB: The Scalable, Durable, and Cost-Effective NoSQL Database

Making better data decisions with Amazon DynamoDB
- Scalability, as it can handle huge workloads with ease
- Very low latency, millisecond latency for reads and writes
- Robust security features
- Feature of Global Tables
- Backup and Restore features
- Limited Query flexibility in comparison to SQL

- Data size limitations
My sweet and sweet experience with Amazon Dynamo DB
- Highly scalable
- Low latency
- Fully Managed service
- NoSQL
- Expensive for small workload
- Lack of a Built-in Full-Text Search
- It is designed for single-table queries, and joining data from multiple tables can be challenging.
Strict ACID Transactions Are Critical
Migrating from SQL Databases with Complex Schemas
Predominantly Read-Heavy Workloads with Minimal Writes
Limited Budget for Small Applications
Full-Text Search Is a Core Requirement
DynamoDB is fast, secure and easy to use.
- Fast response
- Availability
- Security on rest
- Ease of use
- Cost model may not be easy to control and may lead to higher costs if not carefully planned
- Indexing may be a cost culprit when not planned, because it's not included on the data costs
- The Query Language may not fulfill everybody's expectations, as it has less features than those of competitors.
Not recommended for deploying it without carefully planning for its usage and costs, as it may become easily unpredictable. Because the indexing of the data comes with its own cost, any non-planned implementation may lead to high costs and indexes are not something that can be easily removed from an architecture once in place. Also, if your needs require a more complex implementation of a query language or multiple ways of querying for your data, then this may not be the database for you.
Great investment overall.
- Allows us to build huge applications.
- It is fantastic for testing and finding bugs within minutes.
- Fantastic at handling data requests nation-wide.
- It's not easy to get to grips with early developers.
- It can be tricky to predict costs sometimes.
- If there is a lot of data, it can take a while to load.
No SQL, Scalable Database
- AI/ML
- User Data
- Logs
- SDK can be improved
- UI can be improved
DynamoDB Review
- Extremely fast
- Lightweight Key-Value pairs
- Serverless
- Streams
- On-Demand vs Provisioned capacity costs
- No relational support
- Limited query options
It is obviously not a good choice when seeking any type of relational or multi-table work, where joining might be required. It is also not a good choice for doing hybrid work between cloud and on-prem.
