    It’s great for server less and real-time applications. It would be great for gaming and mobile apps. However, if you need relational database and have fixed budget, do not use it. While budget can be managed, you need to be careful. Also this is not a tool for storing big data, there are other wide-column database types you could use for it ins the ad

    Titan is definitely a good choice, but it has its learning curve. The documentation may lack in places, and you might have to muster answers from different sources and technologies. But at its core, it does the job of storing and querying graph databases really well. Remember that titan itself is not the whole component, but utilizes other technologies like cassandra, gremlin, tinkerpop, etc to do many other things, and each of them has a learning curve. I would recommend titan for a team, but not for a single person. For single developer, go with Neo4j.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • 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.

    • Titan is really good for abstraction of underlying infrastructure. You can choose between different storage engine of your choice.
    • Open source, backed by community, and free.
    • Supports tinkerpop stack which is backed by apache.
    • Uses gremlin for query language making the whole query structure standardized and open for extension if another graph database comes along in future.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • 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.

    • The community is lacking deep documentation. I had to spend many nights trying to figure many things on my own. As graph databases will grow popular, I am sure this will be improved.
    • Not enough community support. Even in SO you might not find many questions. Though there are some users in SO who quickly answer graph database questions. Need more support.
    • Would love an official docker image.

    It's core to our business, we couldn't survive without it. We use it to drive everything from FTP logins to processing stories and delivering them to clients. It's reliable and easy to query from all of our pipeline services. Integration with things like AWS Lambda makes it easy to trigger events and run code whenever something changes in the database.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    Functionally, DynamoDB has the features needed to use it. The interface is not as easy to use, which impacts its usability. Being familiar with AWS in general is helpful in understanding the interface, however it would be better if the interface more closely aligned with traditional tools for managing datastores.

    Performance
    Amazon AWS
    It works very well across all the regions and response time is also very quick due to AWS's internal data transfer. Plus if your product requires HIPPA or some other regulations needs to be followed, you can easily replicate the DB into multiple regions and they manage all by it's own.

    The only thing that can be compared to DynamoDB from the selected services can be Aurora. It is just that we use Aurora for High-Performance requirements as it can be 6 times faster than normal RDS DB. Both of them have served as well in the required scenario and we are very happy with most of the AWS services.

    To be honest, titan is not as popular as Neo4j, though they do the same thing. In my personal opinion, titan has lot of potential, but Neo4j is easier to use. If the organization is big enough, it might choose titan because of its open source nature, and high scalability, but Neo4j comes with a lot of enterprise and community support, better query, better documentation, better instructions, and is also backed by leading tech companies. But titan is very strong when you consider standards. Titan follows gremlin and tinkerpop, both of which will be huge in future as more graph database vendors join the market. If things go really well, maybe Neo4j might have to support gremlin as well.

    Scalability
    Amazon AWS
    I have taken one point away due to its size limits. In case the application requires queries, it becomes really complicated to read and write data. When it comes to extremely large data sets such as the case in my company, a third-party logistics company, where huge amount of data is generated on a daily basis, even though the scalability is good, it becomes difficult to manage all the data due to limits.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • Some developers see DynamoDB and try to fit problems to it, instead of picking the best solution for a given problem. This is true of any newer tool that people are trying to adopt.
    • It has allowed us to add more scalability to some of our systems.
    • As with any new technology there was a ramp up/rework phase as we learned best practices.

    • Steep learning curve. Your engineers would have to spend lots of time learning different components before they feel comfortable.
    • Have to plan ahead. Maybe this is the nature of graph databases, but I found it difficult to change my schemas after I had data in production.
    • It is free, so time is the only resource you have to put in titan.
