+1 for Mongodb on a EC2 instance instead of Dynamodb
We're transitioning off Dynamo as soon as possible as the billing structure makes it either a real headache or very expensive.
For example: if you want to make a backup of a large table or move data around, it'll either take days or cost you an arm and a leg. This is just one of many annoyances. Ever since making the decision to go with Dynamo over Mongo, I've been getting dirty looks from my team.
- andrewvc 13y agoThe set of problems where you're really struggling between mongodb and dynamodb as a choice is practically non-existent. They have hugely different characteristics and vastly different trade-offs. You might want to spend some time reading about the architecture of various databases before just picking one.
- Goranek 13y agoseriously, you‘re comparing apples and oranges. Mongodb usecase has nothing to do with dynamodb.
