Summary
In this chapter, we learned about data model concepts, including tables, items and attrib-
utes, primary key, and indexes and their design patterns.
We started the chapter by discussing the DynamoDB data model where we understood the
importance of primary keys. We then took a look at a few valid and invalid table schema.
We understood the basic significance of DynamoDB indexes. Finally, there was some ex-
planation of the DynamoDB data types that we have used so far in the chapter. This is a ba-
sic chapter and we are going to cover similar topics in the upcoming chapters in greater de-
tail.
In this chapter we took a look at the AWS management console. But along with the man-
agement console we can interact with DynamoDB in numerous ways, which we are going
to see in the next chapter along with the installation and configuration details. We will learn
how to access DynamoDB in the management console, command line, and the Eclipse plu-
gin.
