Migrate to Dynamo DB

[ErrorsAndGlitches]

Problem

Currently, the database is stored with the instance. If anything happens to it, well, not good.

Solution

Rather than using an RDS solution, DynamoDB provides a free tier for which we will not reach the limits of. Unlike other free tiers, this does not expire after the introductory 12 months.

Notes

This should be part of the cloud formation template when this is done. For the moment, because feature parity is trying to be reached, the CF template will initially not have this.

Dynamo DB also has an easy to use mapper for abstracting out the actual marshalling and unmarshalling from the raw reads:

[ErrorsAndGlitches]

That's really good to know because it was one of the features I wasn't sure DynamoDB had.
