crash_and_burn

We asked for a basic inventory management product that would have uniqueness constraints, mainly relational data, and be used by a small group of users. Our devs wanted to test out angular to see if it would speed up development on other projects (fair enough), and pitched dynamoDB on AWS. Angular took just as long or longer as their usual methods, required outside consultants for extra cost, and dynamoDB got us a product that failed uniqueness constraints all over because the devs were unfamiliar with NoSQL as well. I guess it helped with adapting the software quickly and adding fields as new requirements popped up though. Nice experiment, but definitely not something you'd want to have to deliver on a schedule to a customer with strict requirements and a competent QA team.
