I wish more services would become de-facto standards and there were many implementations of the same API. I'd love more (cheaper) DynamoDB compatible APIs.

Why would anyone want a DynamoDB compatible API?

Dynamodb is great. A ton of services, including this site could literally be implemented with dynamodb alone.

As always, "it depends", but I'd argue DynamoDB has too many constraints and weird limitations: indexes, query language, item (row) sizes. Unless you really know what you're doing I would not suggest it. You'll likely paint yourself into a corner.

In practice most of the constraints are pretty sensible though. You just need to think a bit about your query patterns.

It’s certainly not for all use cases, though.
