To utilize it in a production environment, you would need:
1. have at minimum 2 instances 2. schedule backups 3. create and manage your db schema 4. manage users/roles
Admittedly RDS makes some of those tasks easy, but Dynamodb makes it even easier.
1. Create the table, provision read/write throughput 2. Create IAM role.
You don't do backups?
Good point.
You need to back up data from Dynamodb, but as a measure to protect against user caused data loss, not AWS infrastructure failure dataloss.
