Actually DynamoDB unlike MongoDB is truly a distributed store, and it actually is closer to Cassandra, Riak (RIP), Aerospike maybe some others.

- scarface74 6y agoYes. But DynamoDB basically requires you to know your access patterns up front and isn’t that flexible when it comes to querying - yes I’ve watched all of the reInvent videos about how to properly model your DDB tables. That being said, if I needed the flexibility and wanted to stay in the AWS ecosystem, I would use DocumentDB with Mongo compatibility. It uses the same storage engine as Aurora, it’s much more flexible and it doesn’t have any of the well known downsides of Mongo.
