Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use the Amazon DynamoDB NoSQL database to replace SimpleTravel’s relational database. The company decided to use DynamoDB as its flexible schema is well suited to the changing nature of the data being stored. Furthermore, it’s fully managed by AWS so the company doesn’t need to deal with servers and low-level configurations. Once you’ve created the data store, you will implement a Lambda function to query data from it.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
