Chapter 9. DynamoDB - Best Practices
In the previous chapter, we learned about using DynamoDB with other AWS services such
as Amazon EMR, Amazon S3, and Amazon Redshift. We also discussed exporting, import-
ing, querying, and joining tables using AWS Elastic MapReduce with DynamoDB.
In this chapter, we will learn the best design use case architectures for DynamoDB. We will
also learn real-time problem statements and their best possible solutions. The list of topics
that will be covered in the chapter is as follows:
• DynamoDB use cases
• Real-time problem statements and their solutions
• AWS DynamoDB on mobile
• Uniform workload
• Time series tables
As a part of our discussion in this chapter, you will learn about all of these topics. So let's
start the journey with the first topic, which will be the DynamoDB use cases.
