Question: Is DynamoDB SQL or NoSQL?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB is a NoSQL database provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is a fast, scalable, and flexible cloud-based database that allows developers to store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic.
Unlike SQL databases, which use structured query language (SQL) to manipulate and manage data, NoSQL databases like DynamoDB use a variety of different data models, including document, key-value, and wide-column, to store and retrieve data. This makes DynamoDB well-suited for handling large amounts of unstructured or semistructured data, and for applications that require low-latency data access.
