Question: Does DynamoDB support nesting data?
Answer
DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that uses a key-value store data model, which means it does not support traditional table-like relationships such as nesting. However, you can store nested data as an attribute in a single item in the form of a JSON or Map type attribute. This is known as "flattening" the data.
