Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the AWS DynamoDB service and how to create a DynamoDB database in AWS. After creating the database, we implemented a Lambda Python code snippet that read items from DynamoDB. You now also know how to extend the Lambda code to insert data into a DynamoDB table. DynamoDB is useful when you need to implement a key-value database that is managed by AWS. It comes with scalability, logging, and monitoring advantages. In the following chapter, we will take a look at the Glue service.
