Querying and Scanning

Understand how to efficiently read data in DynamoDB by exploring query and scan methods. Learn when to use querying for fast access within a partition and when scanning is appropriate for broader searches. Discover the impact on performance and read capacity, allowing you to optimize your database operations.
