This approach sounds very similar to using a single table in DynamoDB: https://www.alexdebrie.com/posts/dynamodb-single-table/

Yeah DynamoDB is very much aligned with a single table. We do it in the customers warehouse so they have access to all their data.

The real magic is how do you assemble the data into tables that can answer any question when the output table is billions of rows. Unfortunately, that requires a lot of SQL magic that depends on taking advantage of a columnar warehouse.
