It's true that on Dynamo, large item sizes get very expensive, very quick. That stems from your data being stored on SSD--and with a replication factor of 3 (iirc).
Cloud or no cloud, Amazon or not, SSD storage is still a lil pricey.
- philjohn 15y agoLots and lots of small items also costs though, because there's a 100byte per k/v pair overhead. So if you're storing 2GB of 100 byte k/v pairs, you have to pay for 4GB of storage. If you store lots and lots, you probably also have either high read, high write, or high read/write rates, in which case you'll need to pay more per hour as well.
