Just curious, what would be the major drawbacks of not using relational here? My understanding is that AWS is pushing Dynamo quite a bit and it seems cheaper, so if they're only needing to query off of session id and maybe user id, shouldn't that be sufficient? |

If all he needed was session id, sure, NoSQL is more or less the same. But what about when he adds other fields that are related? Say customer address or reports or .... His life may very well be easier with relational.
You should generally start relational. Then branch out if you are hitting the brick walls of relational. People using NoSQL for a 100MB database are making their life SERIOUSLY more difficult than it needs to be. (I have done it before, not fun).
