We should definitely update the README :-)
Dynamosm was afaik, an internal Mapbox tool that used AWS' DynamoDB to maintain a node cache and create full geometries based on planet replication. I don't believe that it is either used or maintained any more.
Sorry about the confusion - @willemarcel @jake-low we should probably remove the reference from the README.
@batpad thanks for the answer!
That Dynamosm reference is already removed from the current readme, I linked to an old version.
It didn't confuse me, but caught my attention, because I'm interested in potential alternatives to the Overpass API (see osmcha-frontend#652).
One idea might be a key-value store like DynamoDB to lookup changesets and referenced object versions by id (type+id+version). So it's also interesting to hear what didn't work out (and why).
The initial README.md mentioned "Dynamosm":
I haven't found any information about that except this:
Which looks like something we might rather want instead of querying the Overpass API by timestamps and bbox (osmcha-frontend#652).
So I wonder what Dynamosm is/was and why it hasn't worked out as a replacement of the current setup?
