DynamoDB Deep Dive: NoSQL for Software Engineers

# Usecase
Whenever we have data we invariably want to access it. This is the case, at least, with all databases. Power to access data allows us to use it intelligently in our applications.
# Option for reading data
DynamoDB provides us with the two basic ways to read data: querying and scanning. The querying method is the faster and more popular way. The scan is its less-efficient cousin.
                                

# Querying
If our table doesn't have a sort key, i.e the partition key that uniquely identifies every item in the table, we can only query one item at a time. We need to specify the partition key to query each item. . The DynamoDB server goes under-the-hood, to the specified partition linked to the partition key and gets us the item.
