"Prime Day" is a rip-off, and the pricing schemes border on fraudulent. Give yourselves a pat on the back for tricking people into spending money they'd be better off saving.

If you're going to say stuff like this, at least provide a modicum of evidence. What pricing scheme, in particular, is borderline fraudulent? Does it differ fundamentally from events like Black Friday? Why should people save money instead of spending it?
Here's more on the report: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/story/your-amazon-sale-item-...
Amazing metrics, the website performed flawlessly and their entire organization should get a giant round of applause
Overall things went well for Amazon, but flawless? I think not.
12,900,000 / second - WOW. Too bad the request rate was probably closer to 15,000,000 / second and you just abandoned everyone else.
Is Amazon entirely based out of Dynamodb nosql ?
So what? I still got a 500 error while trying to process an order and when I refreshed - sold out. "60% of the time - it works every time" is only good for Panther scented cologne. 12,900,000 / second - WOW.

Just do an internet search for "prime day scam", or something to that effect. The FTC has been investigating Amazon for their price deception tactics: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-whole-foods-m-a-amazon-ft...

Effectively the FTC is required to do its due diligence and the FTC has not accused Amazon of anything. It's some third-party group making the accusation.
What is Dynamodb used for internally? Looks like it's being used for fulfillment and checkout as well. Is Amazon entirely based out of Dynamodb nosql ?
