Hands-on AWS DynamoDB

I’m so happy to announce that my new course Hands-on AWS DynamoDB is published! The course Hands-on AWS DynamoDB is designed for anybody who wants to learn AWS NoSQL Database Solution DynamoDB. There are twelve fun hands-on projects in this course.  Such as creating DynamoDB Tables, loading data, processing data operations, enabling dynamoDB Streams with TTL to manage modification, replicating table with Global Tables, setup Triggers with Lambda function, building the Serverless Web Application and setup web identity federation. You will also learn the basic knowledge of other associated AWS services (e.g. S3, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch, and CloudTrial).

Once you have completed this course, you should be able to deploy your NoSQL database on DynamoDB, operate and maintain data, monitor and secure the database.

What is NoSQL Database?

NoSQL databases are nonrelational databases. But, NoSQL means Not Only SQL. So it provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases(RDBMS).  Even more, it is optimized for scalable performance and schemaless data models. They use a variety of data models, including columnar, document, graph, and in-memory key-value stores. NoSQL databases also are widely recognized for their ease of development, low latency, and resilience.

What is AWS DynamoDB?

AWS DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service. It is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. It has the following features:

• Fast and flexible non-relational database
• Fully managed cloud database
• Support both document and key-value store models
• Highly Scalable
• Fine-grained Access Control
• Event Driven Programming

Another popular NoSQL database choice is MongoDB. Please review this post on the difference between these two NoSQL databases.
