I am sorry, but how can DynamoDB be cheaper when I have to pay to provision capacity and SimpleDB is practically free for low-volume stuff like this? S3 is probably an even better option, which seem to be on the roadmap, thankfully.
- athrun 12y agoDynamoDB is quite inexpensive at low usage levels. The Free Tier gives you: "25 GB of Storage, 25 Units of Read Capacity and 25 Units of Write Capacity – Enough to handle up to 200M requests per month" DynamoDB's free tier doesn't expire after 12 months.

- _alex_ 12y agoBoth DynamoDB and SimpleDB have free tiers. credstash can happily live in the free tier until you are using it A LOT (more than 25 fetches/second, sustained). Storage in SimpleDB costs about as much per GB as DDB, but DDB gives you more free storage, so DDB is cheaper for any amount of data over 1 GB.
