Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were using DynamoDB for storing the configuration of our webhook solution. Each integration had multiple configuration options, such as authentication mechanisms and behavior parameters. Storing all of this in a single table was not feasible, so we decided to leverage DynamoDB for the speed and flexibility it provides in this scenario.

Pros and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

It reduced downtime due to flexible and scalable configuration updates, improved integration efficiency, and lower infrastructure costs.

Scalability

It covered without issues our main use-case (webhook configuration management).

Performance

In our webhook scenario, which handles high-volume traffic, DynamoDB scaled very well to provide the integration configuration. We didn't experience any reading issues with the volume of our data.
