Amazon DynamoDB stands out for its seamless scalability, allowing applications to effortlessly handle large workloads. With low-latency performance and a fully managed service provided by AWS, developers can focus on their applications without worrying about infrastructure management. DynamoDB's flexible NoSQL data model accommodates changing requirements, while its integration with other AWS services enhances the development process. The database ensures high durability and availability through data replication and offers monitoring tools for performance optimization. However, it's important to evaluate DynamoDB's suitability for specific projects based on factors like data access patterns, cost, and Integration needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Amazon DynamoDB offers numerous benefits, there are a few aspects that some users may find challenging. One common concern is the cost associated with DynamoDB, especially for applications with unpredictable or fluctuating workloads. Provisioned throughput and storage costs can add up quickly, making it crucial to carefully plan and monitor capacity requirements to avoid unexpected expenses. Additionally, DynamoDB has a limited set of query capabilities compared to traditional relational databases, which may require developers to think differently when designing data models and performing complex queries. Lastly, managing and optimizing performance in DynamoDB can be intricate, requiring a thorough understanding of the service and careful tuning of indexes and provisioned throughput.

Dynamo DB is the NoSQL offering from AWS, created on the fly. It has good reliability and is easy to make and destroy. It is well secured by IAM rights and policies and easily integrated with other AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first time user needs to know technical know how of the queries to fire in order to get the data, it is little bit difficult to understand the DB structure as compared to its counterpart Mongo DB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best managed NoSQL database optimized for performance at scale, highly availability, highly secure and durability, easy to manageable, always maintain data consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now I didn't get any difficulty or response delay while using this application so nothing here to dislike for me. Ideal for applications with known access patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliable: promised availability, 99.9% uptime.

Scalable: exceptional scalability with a wide range of tools for up and downscaling

Secure: encryption at rest and transit, can use custom encryption, great access controls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility: Not flexible as other solutions

Lock-In: Locked into the AWS ecosystem, very difficult to switch to another solution

Complex: Very complex for newcomers, and need extensive learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- significantly less latency (single-digit millisecond) compared to other similar databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The one thing I am not very fan of is eventual consistency meaning that any change in the data might take some time to reflect in all read operations, although you can avoid that by having strongly consistent reads but it will affect the performance, so it is a tradeoff between performance and consistency which is not suited for some applications which needs high consistency.

Scalable, performant, fully managed, and automatic scaling are some of the best things about Dynamo DB.

No other DB in the market gives the amount of robustness and durability which DynamoDB gives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some significant drawbacks are the lack of SQL support, a steeper learning curve, no joins, and no transactions. It also work if you have a simple data model, if you have a complex one, you better choose something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to scale up or down my capacity based on my application's needs. The automatic partitioning of data across servers is also a major plus, as it helps to ensure high availability and performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DynamoDB can also be a challenge to work with at times. Querying and filtering data can be complex, and there is a bit of a learning curve to understanding how to effectively model your data for optimal performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DynamoDB let us offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling a distributed database so that we don't have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup, configuration, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple items or tables cannot be involved in complex transactions. It is difficult to maintain consistency in data when this occurs and can require additional effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like using DynamoDB due to it being faster and cheaper than others, moreover, we love the design with makes it easy to run queries and access data at a much faster rate which increases the overall efficiency of database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's much harder to run a cluster of queries in a database which is something that takes a lot of time when using dockerized containers and selecting one data point at a time, Moreoevr the UX can become more intuitive for a better user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Amazon Dynamo Database is that it is highly scalable, fully managed (serverless), secure, and easy to set up as we just have to navigate to our AWS Console and set it up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main problem that I faced with DynamoDB is that it has limited querying options and that it had a size limit of 400kb for an item that couldn't be increased. I faced some issues in predicting the costs also which was a very crucial part as I didn't have much funding back then and even now, it is a major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
