Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Amazon DynamoDB yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Amazon DynamoDB across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Amazon DynamoDB - a fully managed, serverless NoSQL database with limitless scalability and single-digit millisecond latency performance.” Llama 4 Maverick · NoSQL · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“managed NoSQL databases like MongoDB Atlas, Amazon DynamoDB, or Azure Cosmos DB are often good choices” MiniMax M2.5 · NoSQL · scale prompt · first choice
“If your infrastructure is already on AWS, this is often the most cost-effective choice.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · budget prompt · first choice
“Popular for your size: Cloud-managed like Atlas/DynamoDB for low ops overhead.” Grok 4.1 Fast · NoSQL · scale prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid: Proprietary/managed-only like DynamoDB (pay-per-use adds up) unless on free tier.” Grok 4.1 Fast · NoSQL · budget prompt · hard negative
“Avoid DynamoDB — it's the cost trap for budget-minded teams.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NoSQL · budget prompt · hard negative
“Eventually consistent multi-region systems — including common deployment modes of DynamoDB global tables... you need to be very comfortable with replication lag and conflict resolution behavior.” GPT-5.4 mini · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative
“it is highly unforgiving of poor design ... will cause your AWS bill to skyrocket overnight” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Amazon DynamoDB. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 107 of the 162 answers that named Amazon DynamoDB and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Amazon DynamoDB's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Amazon DynamoDB, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at amazondynamodb.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
