Course description
Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed database service with built-in enterprise features that include capabilities for global availability, backup and recovery, advanced application, lifecycle integration, and security.
This intermediate course is the fourth in a series of courses in the Developing with Amazon DynamoDB curriculum.
This developer-centric course introduces the depth and breadth of at-scale features. You will explore how developers at every level can easily access and integrate these functions into their own applications through the AWS CLI and SDKs.
This course is also associated with an optional (paid) lab. The lab demonstrates how to integrate DynamoDB Streams into an application architecture that is connected to AWS Lambda and the Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES).
• Course level: Intermediate• Course duration: 3 hours 30 minutes
