> By embracing DynamoDB as your metadata layer, systems stand to gain a lot. I just implemented a "posix-like" filesystem on top of it. Which means large object offload to s3 is not a problem or even an "ugly abstraction." In fact it looks quite natural once you get down to the layer that does this. You also get something like regular file locks which extend to s3 objects, and if you're using cognito, you can simplify your permissions management and run it all through the file system as well.
