Question: Is connection pooling needed for DynamoDB?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Connection pooling is not typically needed for Amazon DynamoDB as it is a managed service and handles connections and scaling automatically. The DynamoDB service automatically handles the creation and management of connections and resources, so you don't have to worry about managing connections or creating a connection pool.
However, you may want to use connection pooling in some cases to optimize the performance of your application.
