There are very few suitable use cases for DynamoDB
I'm not familiarized with DynamoDB, but why would connecting to it be any faster than connecting to Postgres or MySQL?

Perhaps DynamoDB is based around HTTP, rather then requiring socket back and forth actions(uname + pass, auth, query, results vs just a single hit where query + auth details are packed together). Never actually looked at dynamodb, so not sure.

Yes, that is accurate. DB operations to DynamoDB are just AWS API calls, the same as you would use to spin up an EC2 instance or create an S3 bucket.
