Should I Use Angolia or OpenSearch instead of DynamoDB? If so in what case.

Hi, my Developer propose for my Video on Demand app for the search function Angolia or Open Search. He is telling me that DynamoDB is not perfect for the Filter. Is it true? What would be the best and the cheapest way?

  • It depends on the type of search that you need to do. If you need textual search, ElasticSearch (Open Search) is very popular and popular. If you need to search by attributes such as years, categories, and ranking, DynamoDB can still be used using various secondary indexes.
