Couchbase vs. DynamoDB: Better Performance and Deployment Flexibility at Lower Cost Summary Amazon makes sure its own DynamoDB is the most convenient NoSQL database for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to choose. But that convenience is often short-lived once the real work begins. DynamoDB setups can run into performance issues and ballooning costs as your workload scales up. You’ll face problems when you need data available in real time. And DynamoDB’s proprietary query language adds yet another AWS service that your programmers and DBAs need to learn. Instead, you can deploy Couchbase on AWS in under 10 minutes and take advantage of the only database that combines the best of NoSQL, like high performance and multi-dimensional scaling, with the power and familiarity of SQL. In this Podcast you will learn how Couchbase can help you: Avoid DynamoDB’s item-size restrictions Speed up performance with in-memory processing and built-in caching Use your team’s existing SQL skills for writing complex queries Easily implement hybrid or multicloud strategies to avoid vendor lock-in Stop over-provisioning resources while cutting license and support costs by up to 50% View our Privacy Policy Jeff Morris is VP, Product and Solution Marketing for Couchbase private software company in California.
