Question: Is DynamoDB a relational database?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
No, DynamoDB is a non-relational database. It is a fully managed NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Unlike relational databases, which use structured query language (SQL) to manage data in tables with rows and columns, DynamoDB uses a NoSQL database model, which allows it to store data in a flexible, document-like format. This allows DynamoDB to be highly scalable and provide fast performance for applications that need to store and retrieve large amounts of data.
