DynamoDB is the same, it charges you for the number of reads/writes you do, so if you're doing full table scans on massive databases, you're going to have a bad time.

With the caveat that ddb extensively documents how you will get billed, down to the request size.

I'm all for the aws hate when it's deserved, but if you get screwed by it on billing, you didn't read.

There is a difference though - you don’t have a query language that makes it easy to do, and the actual technology pushes you to make a different more correct choice.
