Chapter 2. DynamoDB Interfaces

There are a number of interfaces available to make user interaction easy and effective. There are four interfaces that are commonly used to interact with DynamoDB:

  • The management console

  • The Eclipse plugin

  • The command-line interface

  • The REST API

As a part of our discussion in this chapter, we will learn about the first three interfaces. We will discuss the fourth interface in detail in Chapter 6, Working with the DynamoDB API.
