>Interesting choice of words. Performance wise, sure. Money wise? I'm still waiting for a SQL database with pay-per-request pricing. The cost difference is enormous, particularly when you remember that you don't need to spend manpower managing the underlying hardware.

I assume you're saying DynamoDB is less expensive than SQL because of pay-per-request.

Working on applications with a modest amount of data (a few TB over a few years) pay per request has been incredibly expensive even with scaled provisioning. I would much rather have an SQL database and pay for the server/s. Then I could afford a few more developers!
