My take is anything single cloud provider proprietary and tabular in 2025 is going to over time feel too limited. Having a json column doesn't cut it. But I'm a believer in document databases
> AWS needs to buy a proper newSQL databse Dynamo is just horribly outdated product.
I am sorry but engaging in good faith, can you quality a little bit? Are you aware DynamoDB works as tier one product within AWS? Meaning it's one of the core pillars of the implementation of many other products?
very low limit on number of keys in transaction
very low limit on ops/sec on a single key
extremely cumbersome to change the data layout
development experience is just abysmal
Before Spanner, Cockroach etc. for some workloads you didn't have alternatives but that time is long gone.
What's your take on Aurora DSQL?

Relational databases (sans JSON columns) are limited in the same way that seatbelts limit your ability to be transfenestrated during a crash.
Having a rigid and well-designed schema is a mechanism to keep you or your team from doing stupid things.
nosql does not imply no schema

Honestly haven't really had to deal with use case where json column does not cut it, but I would imaging there might be some.
