What is Dynanodb?
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is designed for applications that require high availability, scalability, and performance while offering low-latency access to data. DynamoDB is particularly well-suited for use cases where flexible schema design, automatic scaling, and seamless replication are essential
