Perhaps true.
I'll never do that though because I'd have to use DynamoDB, which is a technology that is high on my list of "technologies that I am least enthused about".
Also, I really shouldn't have to go to all the work of creating and maintaining a metadata database and implementing a query API just because I want to do searches more powerful than "list all objects" - that's Amazon's job.

- hoodoof 10y agoThis isn't such an issue because you can update the DynamoDB index using an AWS Lambda function on every putobject or removeobject event. It's still not something I want to do, mainly because I'd have to touch DynamoDB but secondly because, well, why the heck doesn't AWS do it?
