Offers features for data normalization and configuring JSON objects
Pros and Cons
  • "Offers a vital query-handling feature"
  • "The response time for data queries should be less than a second"

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for connecting API services with databases. At our company, Amazon DynamoDB is being used for data normalization and to configure JSON objects. 

What is most valuable?

The features of JSON documents and query handling of databases are vital features of the solution. 

What needs improvement?

The response time for data queries should be less than a second. The queried data is not required in normalization for parameter queries, password queries, or data that can be used frequently. 

It would be beneficial if the product can be made open source. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Amazon DynamoDB for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is highly scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup to be straightforward. I work with the graphic console and recently have been working with the APIs and queries of the Enterprise Command Line.

What was our ROI?

The ROI depends on how Amazon DynamoDB is integrated with other solutions. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Amazon DynamoDB is an expensive product. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend that others use Amazon DynamoDB, but the expenditure must be calculated beforehand. I would rate the product an eight out of ten.
