I've had a similar experience with DynamoDB from AWS. They talk about elastic scalability and whatnot, but once you have real load, you need to buy dedicated capacity.
$2000/month of DynamoDB write capacity wasn't even giving 20% of the write throughput of a $160/month 4-node Aerospike cluster.
In addition, I felt like a the APIs made it really hard to do simple things.
