Amazon DynamoDB - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service, which helps businesses manage administrative workloads with its built-in security, data backup, recovery, and in-memory caching capabilities. The platform assists users with hardware provisioning, data replication, setup and configuration, software patching, and more.

It allows administrators to create database tables for storing or retrieving data served at any level of request traffic and offers a flexible schema to ensure a consistent throughput capacity for tables. Amazon DynamoDB integrates with AWS Lambda to utilize triggers for executing custom functions for item-level changes across tables. The platform protects customer data using encryption keys stored in AWS key management service and enables developers to build security-sensitive applications for industries such as banking and finance.

Amazon DynamoDB supports ACID transactions to help businesses maintain data correctness across applications, encrypt all data by default, and grant identity and access control to tables. Using the point-in-time recovery capability, teams can protect the database from accidental write or delete operations, create on-demand or continuous backups, and perform restoration operations on tables.

Pros
I like how it provides you quick and easy access to data that you need to query. How it stores data in a way that even users without an IT background can quickly have a grasp into is a great thing.
So far has been good wrt to storing and retrieving data. It is secured and the time taken to retrieve is relatively faster.
Its ease of use, performance, and integration with other AWS services make it a top choice for many organizations. Just be aware of the costs associated with the service and plan accordingly.
Cons
It's not as flexible as MongoDB when it comes to indexes. Lack of stored procedures as in MongoDB.
The query structure seems to be a bit complicated for various fields. The expressions are limited and does not address all business requirements.
Lots of weird optimization tricks. AWS does not do a good job about letting you know if you accidentally use a reserved word (things just break).
