DynamoDB Data Model
Explore the core concepts of DynamoDB data modeling in this lesson. Understand tables as schema-less stores, learn about items and their attributes, and grasp the role of primary keys. Gain confidence in how partition and sort keys organize and uniquely identify data within your database tables.
We'll cover the following...
Tables
Tables are the basic store of data. We can have multiple tables in our database. These tables are similar to relational database tables. We store data as items in our tables.
