Course Overview
This course is for developers, architects, and database engineers who want to build applications that involve complex data characteristics and millisecond performance requirements from their databases. In this course, you use AWS purpose-built databases to build a typical modern application with diverse access patterns and real-time scaling needs. By the end of the class, you should be able to describe advanced features of Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon DocumentDB (with Mongo compatibility), and Amazon ElastiCache for Redis.
