AWS DynamoDB Tutorial For Beginners

In this video, I explain to you the core concepts of dynamodb and walk you through the console. I discuss what dynamo db is and why its a useful nosql datastore to consider. I then explain the concepts relating to a DynamoDB Table including Tables, Items, Attributes, Primary Key, Partition Key, Range Key, and Global Secondary Indexes. Finally, I show you a hands on example of DynamoDB in action through the AWS console.

It's crazy you do a better job at explaining these concepts that the actual AWS academy. Thank you

[jumboliah]

great vid, looking forward to more of your stuff. You have a really good balance between moving forward through concepts and adequately revealing the steps and options without dwelling and slowing down the learning trajectory. that kind of control is sadly lacking in a lot of video tutorials today. This balance and your manner of speaking makes for a really good learning experience. Good stuff!

I'm new to your channel but Ive been watching and learning for several weeks. I appreciate your ability to make concepts seem easier to munch on. I'm doing a cloud project on my own and your videos are helping me through it. I'm new to tech (career changer) and your channel is truly a gem! Thanks!

Again, you are very easy to listen to. Great explanations. Studying now for my CSAA I hope to take in about 3 weeks. Then the next hopefully before the end of Aug. Thanks again for the content!

Came back here to re-learn DynamoDb for my current website project!

Really love your videos, I was wondering, possible to explain a bit more on DynamoDB using concurrently with AppSync? I am uncertain how the graphql Queries work. Does the appsync default query function utilize DynamoDB's query function? It would be a lot of help if I can have a more in-depth understanding of this.

I can't really find videos on how the Appsync version of GraphQL works.

Thank you so much for the video! : D

27:42 - "... So it's great if you have global apps that aren't stack specific and you want to get some increased performance ... " why does the stack matter here? Are you implying that if I use MERN stack as opposed to MEAN, it is possible that I get different performance? I didn't really understand what you were suggesting with this observation here

Great vedio to understand basics of dynamo db. Kudos

[rohitkochar]

is there a way I can access these slides? This is super useful informaiton

[fernaldywinata]

hi! so for example say im trying to make like a music table,

I was thinking of making the song_title the partition key and they year the sort_key, though I do want to query based on the artist too, should I make the artist a global index or local index?

Is there a transcript available for this video? I also noticed that closed captions were disabled, I was hoping you might be able to change it so it is possible to get a copy of the transcript. Thank you for the resource.

I'm curious if the dynamoDB uses xpath for the quick Query interface, based on the options you have it surely seems like it, could be sql but xpath would require way less overhead.

[ryanmatsua]

Loved the cursor you use :P How can I change mine to it?
