What if AWS was compromised and every DynamoDB instance was accessible?

I think the difference is that the scope of DynamoDB is limited. A breach in authentication could result in the complete compromise of a company.

But use of S3, for example, is not limited much at all. It is very dominant.

I suspect that a breach of most companies AWS accounts would lead to a complete breach of that company.

Somewhere in the mountains of data stored in an AWS account and all it's associated EC2 instances and backups on S3 will be credentials or information to thoroughly breach all other systems.

You literally just made this up based on nothing

Someone is able to bypass very strict security and even if I went with a different or self hosted solution, if I was the target i would be got.
