DynamoDB is one of the most common databases for building serverless applications. But we don't know how to model our data for fitting in a DynamoDB table. One of the best practices for modeling data is the single table design that is a new concept that we need to learn.

In this video Alex De Brie AWS Data Hero, will show us 7 patterns and good practices that will help us with the modeling and building an application in real life.

00:00 Introduction
04:09 Why DynamoDB?
07:37 Some foundational concepts for getting started
15:16 Starting with the demo
19:05 How to model your data?
26:11 How to keep up with data changing in the single table design?
30:48 Walking through the code
37:42 Abstract class for base entities
46:02 getClient function to improve the performance
52:32 Using ULIDs as unique, sortable identifiers
57:00 Tracking reference counts with transactions
