I worked with dynamoDb maybe 6 months ago and found some of the restrictions very limiting. In MongoDb the current max size for a document is 16mb, and there are workarounds for bigger data. In dynamoDb a single item cannot exceed 64kb, ever.
They used to only support unsigned integers, so happy hacking when storing unix time before 1970. However, this seems to have been fixed.
Personally, I will hold off another year before using dynamoDb again. It takes time for a project to mature.
- lubos 14y agoI don't find these restrictions limiting at all. I barely ever need more than 1 kB per object. If I need to store more than a few kB, I will put it in S3 and store in DynamoDB just pointer to it. Why would I store unstructured blobs in DynamoDB anyway if I have much cheaper S3 at disposal.
