"DynamoDB is the ease to use database"
What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

I like DynamoDB because it's serverless and easy to set up. I don't need to worry about scalability. I can provision easily and manage plenty of configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike DynamoDB. I hope DynamoDB has mock tools to easily by developers to integrate and test the DynamoDB tools. Also, have integration with SDK for various programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best NoSQL database service"
What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

There are multiple things that I like about DynamoDB but the best would be that it is fully managed services means AWS handles all the aspects like hardware provisioning, setup, configuration, patching, scaling and backups. This allows developere like us to focus on building applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The thing which I dislike about DynamoDB is the lack of built-in schema migration. If we need to modify our table schema then we also need to handle migration manually to manage data consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DynamoDB"
What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

It also provides perfect import and export feature which helps in easy handling of data. It is useful for all levels of enterprise applications as it has no limitations.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

While performing single transactions in a database, dynamoDb resticts support for mutiple operations in a single database transaction. Query running speed can also be a limitation of this tool as other similar tools are a bit faster while quering a database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
