I've been waiting for Mathias to write something like this, and I'm glad he didn't waste any time diving in. For those who don't know him, he has more breadth in the area of emerging datastores than anyone I know; he literally wrote the book on Riak[1]. I've also been acquainting myself with the DynamoDB API over the past week, and am building a node.js binding that I hope will abstract away most of the esoteric aspects of interacting with it. It has full API coverage currently and is tested in Travis[3], so now I'm writing the high-level interface. So far I've covered about half of the operations DynamoDB offers, but would love to hear any ideas/feedback.
