Dear god why? They're a fin-tech company for God's sake. It's just a database, and a damn good one at that. Sure it's not trendy like Postgres, but the founders will be in for a shock when they scare off big bank they're trying to sell themselves to, because the bank's CTO won't have any clue what the hell DynamoDB is.
I get that they want to avoid code monkeys who've been stagnating in a big bank writing P/SQL reporting software for the last 5 years. But that's why you read CVs. Obviously you need to holistically look at each candidate.
- sonthonax 6y agoI work at a startup that uses Oracle just for that reason; banks care about that kind of stuff. Auditors will ask basic questions like, "is their data consistent". If the tech team gives the auditors a spaghetti diagram of how their data might be eventually consistent, they'll face an uphill battle being acquired.
