E-LearningIntermediateApplication development using AWS DynamoDB
1.5 hoursThis digital course is the first in the series for the DynamoDB for Developers curriculum. The course teaches you how to begin interacting programmatically with DynamoDB tables and data stored within them. You will gain an understanding of how to install and use DynamoDB Local, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and the AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs) to create and interact with DynamoDB tables. You will become familiar with commonly used commands in four languages: Python, Java, Node.js, and .NET. This course is offered in conjunction with an optional paid lab in which you will use the AWS CLI and AWS SDK for Python to create and interact with a DynamoDB table.

Learn key concepts with expert-led sessions and guidance
Watch this episode of Amazon DynamoDB Office Hours (September 2020) with AWS Senior Practice Manager Rick Houlihan, as he reviews the fundamentals of single table design.
Watch this re:Invent 2020 session (November 2020) with Sr. DynamoDB Specialist Solutions Architect Pete Naylor as he reviews key features that help drive the most business impact, such as multi-Region, multi-primary replication with global tables, on-demand capacity mode for spiky workloads, backup and restore (including point-in-time recovery that backs up your table data automatically, down to the second, for the past 35 days), and more.
In part 1 of this AWS re:Invent 2020 session (25:35), AWS Data Hero Alex DeBrie reviews how modeling with DynamoDB is different than a traditional relational database, and some foundational elements of data modeling with DynamoDB.
In part 2 of this AWS re:Invent 2020 session (29:38), AWS Data Hero Alex DeBrie reviews more advanced guiding principles, including strategies on how to handle complex, highly relational data models that don’t slow down as your application scales.
