The DynamoDB Paper
I'be been working with DynamoDB daily for a few years now, and whilst I like working with it and the specific scenario it solves for us, I'd still urge anyone thinking about using it to carefully reconsider whether their problem is truly unique enough that a traditional RDBMS couldn't handle it with some tuning. Theycan be unbelievably performant and give so much stuff for free.Designing application specifically for DynamoDB will take _a lot_ of time and effort. I think we could have saved almost a third of our entire development time had we used more of the boring stuff.
