Course description
Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed database service that resides in a secure ecosystem. It includes an advanced suite of tools for application and table design and deployment.
This is the sixth course in a series of courses in the Developing with Amazon DynamoDB curriculum. It reviews some of the concepts introduced in the prior five courses and applies these concepts to the process of architecting a new DynamoDB-driven application.
• Course level: Intermediate
• Course duration: 1.5 hours
Activities
This course includes animations, video demonstrations, interactive content, knowledge checks, and an optional (paid) self-paced lab.
