Source: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_pr

What platforms does Amazon DynamoDB support?

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_pr

Can Amazon DynamoDB be self-hosted?

We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for Amazon DynamoDB, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_pr

What does Amazon DynamoDB integrate with?

We have confirmed 11 integrations for Amazon DynamoDB, including AWS Lambda, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3 Tables, DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX), AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), plus 3 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?nc2=h_pr_pr

What security certifications does Amazon DynamoDB have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for Amazon DynamoDB. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Amazon DynamoDB not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Amazon DynamoDB, not the verdict.
