Course approach
Course does not assume that you already know DynamoDB. For that reasons, I am first covering the basics of DynamoDB. But unlike other courses, I will not just show you how-to use DynamoDB rather I will show you how DynamoDB works under the covers !! I strongly believe that to effectively use a database, an architect MUST understand how database technology works under the covers.
Data modeling is an iterative process. I am sharing a prescriptive guidance on the process and then showing step-by-step how to apply the process. As a case study I am using an example of ACME bank (a fictitious retail bank). Throughout the course we will be applying the process to ACME bank use cases to evolve a full blown DynamoDB data model.
Tools in use
- NoSQL workbench
- Local DynamoDB for model development & testing
- AWS cloud account for testing (minimal use)
- An integrated development environment (like Visual Studio Code)
- Python - if you would like to run the code samples on your machine
