No Fixed Schema in DynamoDB
Understand why DynamoDB employs a NoSQL schema model to support scalable, high-performance database services. Learn how flexible schemas and primary keys work together to enable effective data storage and querying. Discover the advantages of NoSQL over traditional relational databases in system design.
We'll cover the following...
Providing services to a wide range of customers that need database services will require a database design that can work for an equally wide range of use cases with easy integration via APIs. Providing services to a large number of customers requires scalability. Operating at a large scale requires a high-performance solution, especially because modern applications often have high throughput requirements. Also, to build a reliable service, high availability is crucial. Let's discuss how we can achieve these goals with our schema model.
For our design, we have chosen a NoSQL database because of its flexibility with highly functional APIs, easy scalability, performance at scale, and high availability. ...
