This is one space where Google really excels.

We're in the AWS ecosystem, and the database offerings are really subpar. DynamoDB, which I originally expected to be somewhat comparable to MongoDB, is an incredibly frustrating (and expensive) product to use. AWS Data Pipeline is extremely confusing and very expensive as well.

AWS's offerings really lag behind Google's offerings (like BigQuery) in this space. Hopefully AWS can catch up because I'd rather not have requests bouncing between data centers.

What do you think is the analogous product to Cloud Dataflow in the AWS ecosystem? SWF? http://aws.amazon.com/swf/

I presume AWS Data Pipeline. But they have their differences, so perhaps there is no true analog.

Simple Workflow is new to me, so thanks for putting it on my radar!

We've had good luck with DynamoDB, but it could be that it just fits our use case very well. What sort of frustration were you running into? (Honestly interested to avoid trouble down the line)
