What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

Global Availability ensures data will be available across all region ,

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.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

DynamoDB is simple to start with and to implement.

As all popular AWS services, it has a huge community and a lot of resources and support.

I'm using it on a daily basis for most of my systems in the last 4 years and it has all the required features from a DB.

Also, the fact it easily integrates with other services like Lambda is a huge advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The search can be painly, or expensive. You have to well define all your expected access pattern ahead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

I like its scalability, low-latency performance, and seamless integration with other AWS services.

These features make DynamoDB a popular choice for applications with varying and unpredictable workloads, such as gaming, mobile, web, and IoT application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

I find DynamoDB relatively costly, note a learning curve due to its NoSQL nature, mention limited query flexibility, and consider careful consideration of consistency models necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my project, I'd switched dynamodb from mysql to store movies and user data because mysql was very slow for my application as data was very large and dynamodb is nosql serverless and it is very fast in comparison of mysql. So i had switched to dynamodb.

As a user of Amazon DynamoDB, I appreciate its ability to effortlessly handle my growing data needs. The seamless scalability ensures my application can handle spikes in traffic without a hitch. The low-latency performance means quick access to data, keeping my app responsive. Plus, not having to worry about infrastructure management thanks to DynamoDB being fully managed is a huge relief – it's more time for focusing on building and improving my application.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

The most valuable part of Amazon DynamoDB is that AWS fully manages it. The developers should only focus on the development of the application without worrying about the actual infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

The least helpful about Amazon DynamoDB is the limited querying options; it is tough to query data out of the large size of the database. Using joins is impossible when you are using DynamoDB. When you have an unpredictable workload, knowing the exact cost of pricing becomes tough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems users face are they won't know when it is required to increase the size of the database, but with using DynamoDB, the storage is unlimited. Users can store enormous amounts of data. All your data is stored in multiple AZs offered by AWS across the regions. By increasing a single table over more than two servers you can achieve horizontal scaling.

What do you like best about Amazon DynamoDB?

The mosr helpful about the dynamoDB is we don't need to worried about the connection string as it is the serverless and the beauty is we have GSI and LSI. In DynamoDB it has a feature like stream that is very useful in my couple of project where I can easily monitor operation in DynamoDB. We can also manage the load without any over head by just adding read write throughput. There is another feature that I like most is the Provision and On Demand feature that helps me to decide my read write operation on DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon DynamoDB?

When we export large amount of data from DynamoDB, it requires S3 bucket and the data exported format is not in the JSON. There should be a feature that can convert to JSON when we export the data, it should be like in the ION format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As it is a serverless database, hence we need not worry about managing the server for deploying database. It has Point in time recovery option that also benefits us in our project to recover data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
