Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) Reviews & Product Details

Dynamo itself is amazing but using DAX give us the much needed low latency catching and most importantly it allows easier development of serverless applications. Also, you personally don't have to manage the cache layer so that's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Costing is the only issue I can think of right now but other than that it's just amazing. Just some better pricing may make it the best as it is optimum for small scale projects but in high scale it may cost tons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, pretty much everything. Before DAX was introduced I.e before 2017 managing caching, invalidating cache with the right approach without getting those x-cache miss errors was a nightmare for us. Thus when we heard in April, 2017 about DAX getting released which pretty much-managed cache population and invalidation automatically we were so excited, and turns out we stopped getting those x-cache miss errors and was really wonderful for us.

Customizing how the cache approaches and having some control on what to cache and add our custom logic on top it is missed as the caching management is handled by DAX which actually okay if you want to leave that hassle and focus on building your application.

DAX is a NoSQL database service that is fully automated. With the introduction of DAX, the speed increases tenfold. It has an in-memory catch system that enhance the speed of the default dynamo DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While old Dynamo DB has to use an external catching feature the DAX made catching simple. With lower latency and lowering the cost. so all in all I didn't find any thing bad about DAX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its is self managed and the integration is very simple. It boosts the application performance exponentially by adding cache layer on top of DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are additional charges for DAX along with DynamoDB charges. It would have been better if the costs were low for DAX usage. Also DAX is not present in all the AWS regions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that delivers up to a 10x performance improvement. DAX does all the heavy lifting required to add in-memory acceleration to your DynamoDB tables, without requiring developers to manage cache invalidation, data population, or cluster management. Now you can focus on building great applications for your customers without worrying about performance at scale. Just as with DynamoDB, you only pay for the capacity you provision.

Nothing to dislike as it gets integrated with the whole AWS ecosystem very coherently. The only thing is the cost factor that you need to factor in before making use of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliability, replication scalability and performance. If you already have basic understanding of No sql databases you will find the apis easy to understand and would be very confident on predicting actual performance of your table based on read/write capacity units. However With new feature of dynamic capacity., the effort of figuring out right capacity also goes away. I have found a ver Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For someone who don't know how noSQL database works, may find its architecture little difficult to understand.Having a Sql interface would help for the people like those.Which i believe is there but not properly documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent system accelerator, I am satisfied with its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Dynamo DB Accelerator is a good system even though it sometimes crashes for no apparent reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the best thing about DAX is that it's a transparent cache layer. it's not a traditional side-cache. which means that it does not have any coherency issues as usual, and that is great. also the fact that it is fully managed is great of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I probably dislike mostly the price which can get very high when dealing with high volumes of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to scale and deploy. Good fit for MVP, which can potentially get a lot of traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You got tied up to their solution and it is not easy to switch from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows you to use the in memory cache on cloud which allows easy development of serverless applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been very expensive to use and can only be used with java applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
