Cloud Lab Overview

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance at scale. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. When combined, DynamoDB and Lambda can form the backbone of automated, event-driven data pipelines.

In this Challenge Cloud Lab, you’ll be tested on your ability to build an event-driven data processing pipeline using DynamoDB and AWS Lambda. You’ll create a system that reacts immediately when new items are inserted into a DynamoDB table, processes and normalizes the data automatically, and stores the cleaned results in a separate DynamoDB table. This scenario is designed to assess your understanding of serverless integration patterns and event-based automation using AWS services.

A high-level architecture diagram for what you are expected to create in this Challenge Cloud Lab is provided below:
