Using Dynamo as the primary store for relational data (3000 tables!) sounds like an awful idea to me. I’d rather stay on Oracle. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/?aurora-whats-new.sort-by=...

It really depends much more on the access patterns than data shape.

Certain access patterns can do pretty well with 3,000 relational tables denormalized to a single DynamoDB table.
