I’ve used dynamodb before but most people have no idea what they’re talking about re: it and start blaming the tool.

Like when we implemented it me and my colleague spent a couple days understanding single table design and how to handle the access patterns we wanted to support.

Trying to explain this to paper smart but lazy colleagues who then skipped understanding and went straight to implement something wrong and blamed the tool really opened my eyes.

For us dynamo made sense. We were tracking global quantities and things like that. Didn’t need to be real time but did need to be present across regions fast.
