Description
Note:This course does NOT use AWS console for showing you basic DynamoDB operationsThis course does NOT focus on just coding This course primarily focusses on Data Modeling practices and patterns for Amazon DynamoDB. You will learn DynamoDB best practices, tips and techniques for building modern and cost effective applications/microservices. At a high level, course is divided into 2 parts:Part-1            Objective: Build a solid understanding of DynamoDBHow DynamoDB works under the covers?Hands-on exercises to try out the DynamoDB API(s) using CLI and Python codeFeature/capability comparison with relational databasePart-2           Objective: Learn to apply DynamoDB design patternsLearn DynamoDB data modeling processHow to apply patterns to address business requirementsAnalyze the access patterns and identify the right pattern to useHands-on exercises to build a data model for a banking use case (refer:  ACME case study)Tools in useNoSQL workbenchLocal DynamoDB for model development & testingAWS cloud account for testing (minimal use)An integrated development environment (like Visual Studio Code)Python - if you would like to run the code samples on your machineGit clientIs this course for me?Yes - if you are an Architect responsible for designing apps on DynamoDBYes - if you are a Developer and aspiring to become an architectYes - if you are a DBA and looking to expand your skills to NoSQL databasesYes - if you are a Technologist who is curious on how DynamoDB works under the coversNo  - if you are just looking for basic "How-to" tutorial on DynamoDBNo - if you are looking for coding guidance DynamoDB appsCourse approachCourse does not assume that you already know DynamoDB. For that reasons, I am first covering the basics of DynamoDB. But unlike other courses, I will not just show you how-to use DynamoDB rather I will show you how DynamoDB works under the covers !! I strongly believe that to effectively use a database, an architect MUST understand how database technology works under the covers. Data modeling is an iterative process. I am sharing a prescriptive guidance on the process and then showing step-by-step how to apply the process. As a case study I am using an example of ACME bank (a fictitious retail bank). Throughout the course we will be applying the process to ACME bank use cases to evolve a full blown DynamoDB data model. Case study : ACME BankA fictitious bank that has embarked on a journey to modernize its retail banking systems. You are the Lead Architect for the retail banking modernization initiative. It is your responsibility:To  work with business owners to understand the requirementsTo model the data for DynamoDBProve/Disprove that DynamoDB will meet the application needsEducate stakeholders on DynamoDB capabilitiesHelp ACME Bank CTO to make a decision on whether to use DynamoDB or not
