DynamoDB

NoSQL Data Modeling with Amazon DynamoDB is good intro talk. DonutDB looks nice.

Grafbase is nice tool that builds on top of DynamoDB but exposes a GraphQL interface.

OSS DynamoDB apps

• DynamoDB Instagram
• Note Service (Next Generation) - GraphQL CRUD API built using AWS AppSync, Lambda, DynamoDB, CDK, Typescript.

Notes

• Each item has a unique primary key and any number of attributes.
• Scanning for an item means looking through every item in a table thus it is less efficient than query search.
• Table is a collection of items, and each item is a collection of attributes.
• DynamoDB will burn you in so many ways. It’s only fine if you have very predictably sized objects and non-spiky workloads.
