You're an amazing person! I know you answered my question about the differences in Amazon Aurora and Dynamo DB in another video response of mine, but to take it a step further and create a video that thoroughly breaks down the differences and how and when they are used is literally something that I had no idea I wanted. I truly want to thank you for making difficult study undertakings so great for the average Joe. Please keep these videos coming as I'm watching as many as possible to make sure I can not only pass the test but to work in this field.

This was an exceptional video. The explanation using the four quadrants was particularly useful - especially for creating a mind map.

[manishmaharjann]

Just a appreciation for making these sort of video. Thank you.

[abdulazeez.]

Excellent explanation. I finally understood the idea of DynamoDB.
Thank you very much

Watched several videos to get concept of RDS vs Aurora vs Aurora Postgres, but none explained the way you did ! You have the ability to explain clearly in simple yet powerful way

[karimkhan]

Daniel, you're a legend! Your video paved the way for us to make a decision on which data store to go for given our use case. Please keep up the good work and continue to post world-class quality videos like this one!

The comparison of the different mental models and usage was brilliant. A perfect, simple look at the fundamental difference.

super clear and super professional! thank you!

[ridaali]

I only get cloud concepts when you explain them! Thank you so much!!

[sakarsr]

Thank you for this video. It really helped us a lot in deciding Aurora and DDB. Make a Cost analysis on this both.

[sanjeevkumaryadav]

Thanks for explaining in detail the use cases, it helped me to decode for my own project, however, i feel if you can also talk about transaction support for both DB, it will be much helpful.

[PaulEllisBIGDATA]

Thank you!!! Appreciate your time and effort.

[celiagaylard]

Practically understandable, thank you.

Is anyone else having flashbacks to the early '80's. Exactly the same design points were discussed when choosing between the Network/Heirachical DB's people knew & this new-fangled Relational Technology. ie: IMS/CODASYL vs Ingres/System R/DB2/Oracle. It seems we've come full circle. New names but similar technical tradeoffs.
