> Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database designed to help enterprises manage data using built-in security, backup, restore and in-memory caching capabilities. &#10;&#10;&#10;The application includes a visual NoSQL workbench, which assists developers with data modeling, visualization and query development. Users can map and test queries, view the access patterns of application, perform data plane operations and generate sample code in multiple languages. Users can use AWS management console to track latest alerts, measure total capacity, manage streams and apply tags to resources. It lets IT professionals maintain data correctness across applications, encrypt data by default and provide identity control to tables. Using point-in-time recovery, administrators can protect data from accidental write or delete operations. &#10;&#10;&#10;Amazon DynamoDB provides integration with AWS Lambda, letting developers use triggers to run custom functions for item-level changes across tables. Pricing is based on memory usage and support is provided via documentation and online measures.

## Reviews

### "DynamoDB for Big Data Processing" — 5.0/5

> **Pawe** | *27 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used DynamoDB in dozen of projects, including the commercial medium-scale applications and University Research projects that included processing massive amount of data. &#10;DynamoDB is my go-to solution for NoSQL Databases, it is very easy to configure and the documentation is near perfect. An experienced Engineer who has worked with Databases before will grasp most of the features in a couple of weeks. DynamoDB is a fantastic solution that automatically scales and is able to process large amounts of data.
> 
> **Cons**: When used very intensely the cost do rise, but still the costs are comparable to other Cloud Providers' NoSQL solutions like Cassandra, GCP BigTable etc.

### "The goto NoSql db that one should go to for easy and fast access" — 5.0/5

> **Khan Nida Khanum** | *1 July 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Amazon dynamodb is a NoSql db that supports key value pair. It is easy to configure and use in your java code through some function calls. The access control is excellent and we can easily provide restricted access to different type of users.
> 
> **Cons**: The size of data that dynamodb can store in one key value pair or an item is limited to 400 KB. For large data you have to rely on other storage like S3 and then use that referance location in your dynamodb. That should be supported out of the box in dynamodb.
> 
> Overall the experience have been very good. It's very easy to understand. We had switched from mongodb NoSql db to Amazon dynamodb and comparatively it was easy to migrate.

### "Amazon DynamoDB for Software Engineers" — 3.0/5

> **Harish** | *5 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We used DynamoDB global tables to replicate data across multiple regions which resulted in a higher level of redundancy. &#10;All this happens in real time to ensure seamless fail over during a disaster while minimising the data lost and it helped in a lot.
> 
> **Cons**: It provides us limited querying options which can be tedious task and the costs for the service can be hard to predict.

### "Consistent Database" — 5.0/5

> **Flavio** | *6 November 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reliable and stable Data base, interface is simple and easy to find everything that I need. The integration with other AWS Services is great. No limit for Data Storage. Query the database is quite simple and intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no complains about Dynamo, think it's the best Data Base I've been using, but maybe add more features in settings, to personalize the way I want to visualize tables.

### "Java developer on Amazon DynamoDB." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *26 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A great scaling NoSQL database on the AWS platform. Easy to administer once you're already using AWS. Integrates great with other services on the platform. Easy to configure security.
> 
> **Cons**: Limited data querying. High entry threshold. Requires understanding because of its differences. It's more difficult with integration when you're not using the AWS platform.
