A table in DynamoDB is quite easy to create and operate. With a few clicks on the DynamoDB management console, you can have your table created in a couple of minutes. To do so, you just need a suitable table name, primary key attributes, their data types, and read and write throughput provisioning units, and you are done. DynamoDB allows us to use the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - (dash), .(dot), and _(underscore) in table names.
