AWS re:Invent 2018: Building with AWS Databases: Match Your Workload to the Right Database (DAT301)

[@alexnarayanstechandetc]

Oh man if he joined any university and taught databases I would drop everything to take that course. What an amazing talk.

[@avani0038]

He needs to teach at the University. More useful than anything my professors taught me

[@realTonyJiang]

University can not pay as much as aws xD.

[@icriou]

oh my God this is great overview....

[@brandoncameron5494]

1:36 Larry Ellison keeps poking at them that they still use Oracle databases. Guess they are finally jumping ship.

[@kellyfj]

Great talk and great overview. Just how many database types does one organization need!?!?! LOL :-)

[@dennis6248]

Never saw an overview session as great as this is.

Why doesn't dynamodb support simple aggregations like mongodb does? I understand that table joins would be very inefficient accross multiple shards. However, I would have thought that aggregations would be more efficient....

[@alexnarayanstechandetc]

I think he said it - DynamoDB is for queries that you know before hand. Aggregations kind of bleed into that ad hoc style of querying that requires something else

[@nichenjie]

@@alexnarayanstechandetc Not necessarily. If you know the access pattern of the aggregation, you can pre-aggregate in DynamoDB. That's the DynamoDB's way of doing aggregation.
