Inefficient bulk data loading and cost-prohibitive batch operations
6/10 MediumLoading large datasets into DynamoDB is cost-prohibitive and time-consuming. While DynamoDB excels at steady read/write operations of small, randomly distributed documents, bulk loading or batch operations can become economically unfeasible, making it unsuitable for analytical workloads or initial data migration.

Bulk loading data is a gotcha. Had a beautiful use case for steady read performance of a batch dataset that was incredibly economical on Dynamo but the cost/time for loading the dataset into Dynamo was totally prohibitive.
