DynamoDB Designer-DynamoDB table designer tool

Example

Designing a table that houses 'User', 'Order', and 'Product' entities in a single DynamoDB table using prefixed partition and sort keys, such as 'USER#<user_id>' for users and 'ORDER#<order_id>' for orders.

Scenario

In a social media application, users and their posts are stored in a single table where queries to retrieve a user’s posts only hit a single partition, resulting in efficient data access with minimal indexes.

Example

Mapping different access patterns like 'Get all orders for a user' by querying the partition key 'USER#<user_id>' and filtering by the sort key prefix 'ORDER#'.

Scenario

In an e-commerce platform, you can efficiently retrieve all orders for a customer or even just their most recent orders without scanning the entire table by utilizing carefully designed partition and sort key structures.

Example

A 1-M relationship between 'User' and 'Orders' is represented by storing orders under the same partition key as the user, ensuring that retrieving all orders for a user only requires a single query.

Scenario

In a project management tool, projects and tasks are stored under the same partition to quickly fetch all tasks associated with a specific project. A M-M relationship can be modeled by having separate items for cross-referenced entities.
