Model a DynamoDB Database for a Mobile App

Broadcast Date: April 3, 2020

Let’s say you are building a mobile application to upload photos. Users upload photos through your application, and friends can view their photos. Your application is a social application, so users want to find and follow friends. By following a friend, a user receives notifications of the friend’s new photos and can message the friend. Finally, users can react to a photo with one of four emojis— a heart, a smiley face, a thumbs up, or a pair of sunglasses. In this episode, you learn how to model your DynamoDB table to handle all of the access patterns in your mobile application.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

• Advanced data modeling patterns while building a mobile application backed by DynamoDB
• How to build the data model for an example mobile application that includes a social network
• How to design your DynamoDB data model to achieve fast, consistent performance
