I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to use SQL for everything. If you are constantly inserting records and don't need relational structures, DynamoDB might be a better choice. DynamoDB scales quickly and cheaply, so it's potentially the preferable option if it works in your architecture.

It's relatively easier to iterate your data storage with relational tables though. Dynamite is great if you are sure a component just needs a k/v store, and you are sure you will never want to do a join.
