← Back to context Comment by gcbirzan 10 months ago Why would anyone want a DynamoDB compatible API? 3 comments gcbirzan Reply amazingamazing 10 months ago Dynamodb is great. A ton of services, including this site could literally be implemented with dynamodb alone. icedchai 10 months ago As always, "it depends", but I'd argue DynamoDB has too many constraints and weird limitations: indexes, query language, item (row) sizes. Unless you really know what you're doing I would not suggest it. You'll likely paint yourself into a corner. amazingamazing 10 months ago In practice most of the constraints are pretty sensible though. You just need to think a bit about your query patterns.It’s certainly not for all use cases, though.
