Global Tables
Explore how DynamoDB global tables replicate data across multiple AWS regions to enhance application performance and fault tolerance. Understand the use of DynamoDB streams for data synchronization, eventual consistency, and considerations like traffic routing, conflict resolution, and cost impact associated with global tables.
We'll cover the following...
