Should I use AWS.EC2.Ubuntu.WordPress w/ &nbsp;Dynamodb over MariaDB?<br />
<br />
I am having trouble installing MariaDB at the moment and also just learned MariaDB may cost me $$$ on the free tier, since MariaDB costs hours. I only have 750/month free. And Maria may cut that 750 in half. True?<br />
<br />
So, I am considering <br />
<br />
AWS.EC2.Ubuntu.WordPress.D<wbr />ynamodb<br />
<br />
I see a WP plug-in for Dynamodb, so that should be quite simple.<br />
<br />
Is this a Good idea?<br />
<br />
a Bad idea?<br />
<br />
Will I be locked into Amazon with this decision? Or, does WordPress enable me to port data from Dynamodb to MySql, at a later time?<br />
<br />
Thanks
