ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course provides in-depth knowledge of DynamoDB, which is a fast NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). With the rapid adoption of IoT devices and the prevalence of machine learning applications, the storage of information and the speed of interaction becomes critical. DyanmoDB is a storage system that can handle millions of transactions per second without affecting user experience.
In this course, you’ll start by learning about the internal workings of DyanmoDb. Next, you’ll learn how DynamoDB scales the capacity based on the load. You’ll also learn to interact with DynamoDB and use the DynamoDB stream. And finally, you’ll learn about AWS services like DAX and Cloudwatch.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a working knowledge of DynamoDB, and you’ll be able to integrate DynamoDB with your applications.
