CHALLENGES
Critical DynamoDB pitfalls that Couchbase overcomes
With Amazon DynamoDB, you're locked into the AWS platform with high and unpredictable costs. Support is lacking for mobile and edge applications. And scaling is expensive and cripples performance.
CHALLENGE #1
High and unpredictable operating costs
DynamoDB quickly becomes an expensive platform for data management as a project grows.
CHALLENGE #2
Lack of multi-purpose versatility
DynamoDB is a key-value database. You pay extra for caching, search, eventing, analytics, and mobile.
CHALLENGE #3
Limited performance at scale
DynamoDB runs into crippling performance issues when pushed to scale.
CHALLENGE #4
Mobile and edge computing
DynamoDB doesn’t have an embedded database or support for enterprise mobile and edge applications.
