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.

- 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.

AWS DynamoDB use cases.
- Storing of Data.
- Running lambda functions to synchronously run jobs.
- Run asynchronous jobs.
- Store inconsistent data.
- It is hard to combine them with lambda functions if the job to be run will take longer than 30 seconds.
- It has some inconsistent behavior when fargate containers are involved.

AWS DynamoDB Review

Just another review…
- Pull Information easily.
- Fast and accessible.
- Being a elastic.
- Don’t see any, to be honest.
- Maybe implementing more tools.

DynamoDB-Revolutionizing Data Management Tool
- Handles large amount of data with the most efficient way
- Can handle dynamic and rapidly changing data with ease
- DynamoDB has a global presence
- Providing more advanced security features, such as fine-grained access control, would make the tool more secure and better suited for enterprise-level applications.
March 24, 2023
DynamoDB is fast and efficient
- DynamoDB is very cheap if you use the on-demand setup.
- DynamoDB is very quick for querying data.
- DynamoDB has a lot of examples on AWS Documentation to do anything you need to do.
- I think there could be better explanations of how it works because it takes some time to understand partition and sorting keys.
- I'd also like to read explanations of why the key limitations of it exist and why other NOSQL databases seem to have easy solutions.
- I think the options to customize DynamoDB should be explained better
March 22, 2023
Amazon DynamoDB is a great option for cloud storage
- Store sets of data with different fields
- Eliminates the need to manage the server or any infrastructure
- Retrieves indexed data quickly
- The interface is not intuitive and can be difficult to use. Especially for inexperienced users
- There is no customization of the presentation of data, which can make it difficult to analyze records
- Easy to start
- Easy to query
- Easy to delete
- Zero maintenance
- Cost is a bit of an issue
- Query API is a little confusing
- Indexes are a challenge
December 16, 2021
Easy to use and scalable solution
- Great documentation.
- Quick and easy to use.
- Scales well with our use cases.
- Querying functionality is limited which limits our use cases.
- Limited resources to train developers from adjusting SQL to NoSQL.
- Can be costly for projects where we have to spin up many environments.
April 06, 2020
Why DynamoDB is right for you?
- Great performance even with large scale applications.
- We don't need to manage any backend servers, everything is a one-click solution in their dashboard.
- Support great reliability and scalability while supporting ACID transactions.
- The costs can be huge if the resource is not monitored properly. We had to crank it down during off-peak hours and again increase the throughput during high usage intervals.
- While the time of usage, DynomoDB did not support different region backup. The backups were only within the same region.
- Best suited for key-value type of operations only. Won't work particularly great for relational operations.
