Question: What does DynamoDB support?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB supports three main data types for its attributes within a table. They are:
- Scalar Types: Values that represent only one value (number, string, binary, boolean, null)
- Document Types: A complex data structure with nested attributes (similar to a JSON document) can be persisted.
- Set Types: Represent multiple scalar values such as a string, number and binary set.
