On the topic of DynamoDB use cases, here are some of DynamoDB users describing their use cases:
- DataXu: "How DataXu scaled its System to handle billions of events with DynamoDB" -- https://youtu.be/lDiI0JMf_yQ?t=765 (from AWS re:Invent 2016)
- Lyft: “Lyft Easily Scales Up its Ride Location Tracking System with Amazon DynamoDB” -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlTbaPXj-jc. The story "AWS Helps Fuel Lyft's Expansion" in InformationWeek mentions Lyft's use of DynamoDB as well: http://www.informationweek.com/cloud/infrastructure-as-a-ser...
- Under Armour implemented cross-region replication using DynamoDB: https://youtu.be/NtaTC2Fq7Wo?t=699
- Amazon.com: Amazon Marketplace shares their story of migration to DynamoDB and why they did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gllNauRR8GM
