If you place arbitrary restrictions upon it then of course it won't fit your model. Dynamo can handle pagination easily by passing in the last seen ID in the request. We used IDs that were lexigraphically sortable by time which has some nice properties such as never losing your position due to extra items being inserted in the middle of your query. Offset/limit aren't fun to work with.

You can go further by using the streams feature to dump your data into an analytical database for your querying needs.
