I've just started using DynamoDB on a project. Before I made the choice, I discussed some architecture issues with a friend who works at a big fast growing unicorn start-up. They use MongoDB for the majority of the app the user sees, they use ElasticSearch for search, postgres for reporting. Data gets exported or updated in the data-sources that best suit the need of that data, rather than trying to find a single data solution that fits every use of the data.

It will likely introduce some serious consistency issues that need to be attended to, but that pain might be better than the alternatives.
