title: Do I need to use EC2 with DynamoDB?
body: <p>I haven't been able to find the answer to this question in the Amazon DynamoDB documentation, so my apologies for asking such a basic question here:</p>
  
  <p>Can I access DynamoDB from my own web server, or do I need to use an EC2 instance?</p>
  
  <p>Other than the obvious higher latency, are there any security or performance considerations when using my own server?</p>
