Book description
Apply efficient DynamoDB design patterns for high performance of applications
In Detail
DynamoDB provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. If you are a developer, you can use DynamoDB to create a database table that can store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. As a database administrator, you can create and scale up or down your request capacity for your DynamoDB table without downtime or performance degradation.
Designed as a complete solutions guide for AWS DynamoDB, this book is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service pattern. The book begins with a description of the concepts of data modeling including tables, items, attributes, primary keys, indexes, and design patterns. You will learn how to access DynamoDB in the management console, command line, and the Eclipse plugin. You will also gain insights into DynamoDB Local and CLI commands. By the end of the book, you will have all that it takes to efficiently use DynamoDB to its utmost capabilities.
