In this episode of Pithoracademy’s Deep Dive Podcast, we dive into Amazon DynamoDB, AWS’s fully managed serverless NoSQL database that powers high-performance, internet-scale applications without the hassle of managing servers or clusters.
Whether you’re building modern web apps, IoT platforms, or real-time analytics, DynamoDB offers low-latency, highly scalable storage with built-in security and reliability.
🎧 We covered:
🗄️ What is Amazon DynamoDB?
❓ Why is it used instead of relational databases?
📌 Key use cases: gaming, IoT, e-commerce, session management, caching
⚙️ How DynamoDB works (partitions, tables, and key-value storage)
🧩 Problems it solves compared to traditional databases
⏳ What was used before DynamoDB?
✅ How it simplifies scaling and management in NoSQL workloads
🚫 When not to use DynamoDB (transaction-heavy, relational workloads)
Final takeaway: DynamoDB is a powerful choice for serverless, scalable NoSQL applications—but it’s not always the right tool for every job.
