I don't know about economics of this particular project but damn dynamodb is expensive. At some point I was thinking that everyone else was just using it wrong, doing scans and queries instead of point-wise lookups into pre-computed tables.
It turns out however that even when you use it as a distributed hashtable you still pay a huge premium.
- kikimora 2y agoWhy? 120 usd per 100 WCU per year, 30 usd per 100 RCU, does not sound expensive. 1 RCU reads up to 4Kb, to read 100 MBs you would need 100 000 RCU which would cost 30 000 usd/year, or 2500/year. Unless my math is off I don’t think anything come close in terms of price.
