I think it is a worth noting that there is a difference between Dynamo and DynamoDB. One is a powerhouse academic publication that shook up modern computer science and one an enterprise tech product based upon Dynamo.

It is the 10th anniversary of Dynamo as a CS milestone.

I understand that, I'm mostly just replying to the "As we say at Amazon, it's just day one for DynamoDB" line. I do respect that Dynamo is certainly an achievement in thinking outside the box. But as for DynamoDB's place in the future of databases, I'm betting against it due to the lack of versatility for workloads that aren't purely non relational. Can't even do log style stuff due to the way sharding works :(
