# Top Use Cases for DynamoDB in 2024

**[Tinybird](https://daily.dev/sources/tinybird)** · 13 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

DynamoDB is a fast, serverless NoSQL key-value database on AWS suited for high-throughput, low-latency workloads. Its top use cases include gaming, content streaming, banking, mobile/web apps, and IoT — all benefiting from its horizontal scalability, schemaless flexibility, and global replication. Pricing options include provisioned and on-demand capacity modes, with a free tier offering 25 RCUs, 25 WCUs, and 25 GB storage. Key weaknesses include poor support for OLAP/analytical queries, lack of native SQL, and AWS vendor lock-in. For real-time analytics on top of DynamoDB, pairing it with a columnar analytics engine is recommended, with Tinybird highlighted as one option offering a native DynamoDB connector.
