How to Create DynamoDB database on Amazon Web Service(AWS).

 

DynamoDB is an Amazon Web Services database system that supports data structures and key-valued cloud services. It allows users the benefit of auto-scaling, in-memory caching, backup and restore options for all their internet-scale applications using DynamoDB.

DynamoDB is the Serverless NoSQL Database offering by AWS. Being Serverless makes it easier to consider DynamoDB for Serverless Microservices since it goes inline with the patterns and practices when designing serverless architectures in AWS.
