Question: Can DynamoDB store documents?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB is a NoSQL database provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses a key-value store. It can store documents, but they must be in a format that can be expressed as key-value pairs. JSON is one such format that can be used, but the document must be flattened so it can be stored as individual fields in a table, with each field corresponding to a specific attribute.
