Amazon DynamoDB with Node.js Tutorials

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database built for scale. This complete course covers tables, primary keys, the AWS SDK for JavaScript, CRUD operations, queries and scans, indexes, transactions, streams, single-table data modeling, serverless integration, security, testing, monitoring, and performance with Node.js.

What Is Amazon DynamoDB?

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless NoSQL key-value and document database. It delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale, with items stored in partitions chosen by a partition key and optionally ordered by a sort key.

Why Learn DynamoDB with Node.js?

DynamoDB is the default database for serverless and high-scale applications on AWS, and the AWS SDK for JavaScript makes it a natural fit for Node.js. Learning DynamoDB lets you build fast, cost-efficient, and highly available data layers.

What You Will Learn

This course is organized into focused lessons so you can learn step by step. You will start with tables, items, and primary keys, then move through the AWS SDK clients, CRUD operations, queries and scans, indexes, transactions, streams, single-table data modeling, serverless and Lambda integration, security, testing, monitoring, and performance.
