He complains that DynamoDB doesn't work for him, then says you should instead use Google BigTable. But he doesn't offer evidence why you should use BigTable. And just says that it works for him.

I don't buy it. I've used BigTable in the past and found it to be infuriating. Now, because it works for him, I'm supposed to believe that BigTable is right for me?

Hey there, I'm the PM for Google Cloud Bigtable; if you want to talk about your experiences with Bigtable, I'd love to hear what your use case was, what your experience was, and your thoughts on how we can make Bigtable better for you. Feel free to follow me on Twitter (see my profile) and we can chat over DM if you wish.

If we chat and decide that Bigtable is appropriate for your use case, maybe you'd be willing to give it another shot? :-)

I believe the article specifically notes that BigTable gave far better performance than DynamoDB.
What did you find infuriating about BigTable?
