Summary

In this chapter, we talked about DynamoDB's history, its features, the concept of provision throughput, and why it is important from the DynamoDB usage point of view. We also saw how you can get started with AWS DynamoDB and create a table and load data. We also learned about installing and running a DynamoDB Local instance utility and how to use it for development.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the DynamoDB data model in more detail and how to use DynamoDB APIs to perform the table, item, and attribute level operations.
