Is DynamoDB worth learning?
The pros are it is super easy, flexible and scalable if you need a key value store with a dynamic schema and no infrastructure. It also is super easy to integrate with AWS Lambdas and API Gateway. There are so many novel tricks one can do to build very powerful apps that scale.
Who should use DynamoDB?
You should consider using DynamoDB if you: Have had scalability problems with other traditional database systems. Are actively engaged in developing an application or service.
Is DynamoDB good for writes?
You should consider using DynamoDB if you: Have had scalability problems with other traditional database systems. High-performance reads and writes are easy to manage with DynamoDB, and you can expect performance that is effectively constant across widely varying loads.

Amazon RDS will automatically replace the compute instance powering your deployment in the event of a hardware failure. DynamoDB global tables replicate your data automatically across 3 Availability Zones of your choice of AWS Regions and automatically scale capacity to accommodate your workloads.
How does DynamoDB differ from other Amazon services?
Dynamo DB DynamoDB differs from other Amazon services by allowing developers to purchase a service based on throughput, rather than storage.
Does DynamoDB scale automatically?
Although the database does not automatically scale, administrators can request more throughput and DynamoDB will spread the data and traffic over a number of servers using solid-state drives, allowing predictable performance. It offers integration with Hadoop via Elastic MapReduce.
What is flexflexible in DynamoDB?
Flexible – Amazon DynamoDB does not have a fixed schema. Instead, each data item may have a different number of attributes. Multiple data types (strings, numbers, binary, and sets) add richness to the data model.
What is the difference between MongoDB and DynamoDB?
