Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll go hands on with the cross replication of an S3 bucket, and backing up DynamoDB in real time using DynamoDB streams. You’ll set up the source and target region, policies to perform replication, and then test it’s working. Finally, you’ll setup and load data using local provisioners and a solution using DynamoDB streams.

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