DynamoDB is a key-value database, and it's valuable if you have simple scan queries and don't need to do point searches.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I've never faced any problems.

We switched to DynamoDB from a relational database that would've had scale problems and would've cost a lot of money to run at scale. DynamoDB allows us to match expense to usage. When not many people are using and it's a quiet day, there is a low cost. On a busy day, there is a higher cost. We get good performance along the way and less maintenance on the database.

The ability to store multiple data attributes is crucial. For example, in a contact flow, if a customer calls, we can integrate DynamoDB dynamically. We need only the customer's mobile number as the primary key, which is stored in the DynamoDB table.

The best feature of the solution is that it is a NoSQL database.

Never used the support. I got all the information from the documentation.

Its scalability is really good. I can go up to a petabyte of data. It is more of an on-demand use case. I can go from 100 MB to 1 PB if I want, which is very good. Most of the other databases would want you to stick to a specific data allocation. Its subscription cost is lower than similar databases offered by other vendors.

Maybe the documentation could be improved a bit. Sometimes, it's a little confusing, and people can easily be mistaken about DynamoDB.

Having an import option, whether through browsing or local file uploads, would significantly improve the efficiency of data migration, enabling users to swiftly transfer large volumes of data into DynamoDB.

Previously, only 64 KB could be used, and later, I think, it was about 400 KB. If the tool could have an additional 10 MB to offer, then the tool could be easier to use.

The solution's interface is the biggest challenge because if you want to access DynamoDB, you need an AWS account.

I'd like to see better integration with Cognito. It has the integration, but I'd like to see a little more ease of setup. If you have multiple customers and you want the database to enforce who can see what, you can treat DynamoDB so that each row has permissions. You can set this up, but it's a little more of a science project to make Cognito and DynamoDB work well to do protection of individual rows. So I'd like that to be more wizard or easy to set up.

In future releases, I would like a feature that lets us store information about public holidays or weekends. When customers call during those closed periods, we could use DynamoDB to trigger an automatic message. So this would eliminate the need for agents to manually inform customers.

Sometimes when we query through the UI, it takes a long time to get the results.

Data integrity across availability zones would be a valuable addition. Currently, DynamoDB provides eventual consistency across availability zones, but strong consistency would be beneficial for certain use cases.

Currently, there is no option for a scheduled refresh in this solution. We want the data to be populated into DynamoDB on a timely basis. Currently, you have to go to the DynamoDB table and hit the refresh button to populate it with the new data. If you have connected DynamoDB to a BI application for creating visualizations with charts, graphs, or other things, you would want it to get updated as per the schedule so that you have updated visualizations in your BI application.

The process of making a query could be optimized.
