Lab - Integrating Amazon DynamoDB

This lab is designed to equip you with practical skills in working with Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed NoSQL database service that offers scalability, reliability, and performance.

Objectives

   •   Examine the preloaded Python code to understand how it functions through the AWS Cloud9 instance that you use to edit the Python script.

   •   Review the LanguagesTable by using the DynamoDB console and the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

   •   Update the existing Python code so that you can insert an item into the LanguagesTable.

   •   Update the current Python code so that you can query the LanguagesTable by using a specific key.

   •   Test the Python script’s overall functionality to update the LanguagesTable and read from it.

Prerequisites

   •   A basic understanding of AWS services.

   •   A comfort level with using AWS Cloud9 to edit and test Python scripts.
