DynamoDB Designer-DynamoDB Table Design

Example

Creating a single table to accommodate multiple entity types like users, orders, and products, using key prefixes and composite keys to establish relationships.

Scenario

In an e-commerce application, DynamoDB Designer can structure data to efficiently handle queries for user profiles, their order histories, and product details, all within a singular table structure.

Example

Mapping out primary keys and global secondary indexes to support specific queries, such as retrieving all orders for a particular user or finding products based on category.

Scenario

For a content management system, DynamoDB Designer can configure access patterns to efficiently retrieve articles by author, category, or publication date using well-defined GSIs.

Example

Structuring 1-M or M-M relationships within a single table using clever key design, such as embedding a list of items or using key prefixes to group related data.

Scenario

In a social networking application, DynamoDB Designer might structure data to easily fetch a user's posts and the comments on each post, despite these being different entity types.
