When to use and when not to use DynamoDB
You are almost done with DynamoDB now and this will be the last topic of the book, so here as a best use case I am providing you with a recap of the basics for DynamoDB.
When to use DynamoDB:
When key-value or simple queries are present
When a very high read/write rate is needed
When auto-sharding is required
When auto-scaling is required
When low latency is required
When there is no size or throughput limit
When there is no tuning
When high durability is required
When not to use DynamoDB:
When multi-item or cross table transactions are required
When complex queries and joins are required
When real-time analytics on historic data is required
