Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

low latency read and writes makes it better for high traffic application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

it provides eventual consistency and does not support full test search natively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon DynamoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

problem:- Managing databases involves complex tasks like provisioning, scaling, patching, backup management, and ensuring high availability, which can consume significant time and resources.

Solution: DynamoDB is a fully managed service, meaning AWS handles infrastructure, scaling, backups, and patching automatically. This reduces the operational overhead for developers. Benefit: Developers can focus more on application development and less on managing the database, leading to faster product development and reduced operational costs.
