LMR: Build and Deploy a Global Serverless Application with Amazon DynamoDB

In this workshop you will learn how to build and deploy a globally distributed serverless application and get experience with using Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables to replicate data across AWS Regions.

You will use serverless components to build an API to support a video player web application. The API service is designed to store bookmark records for any video show that a customer watches, so that the application can remember where a user left off during a watch session.

The target audience for this workshop is any developer or application architect who needs to understand multi-region data availability architectures for their application. At the end of this workshop you should:

  • Feel comfortable creating a DynamoDB Global Table in multiple regions
  • Understand how DynamoDB Global Tables Replication works
  • Be able to explain what eventual consistentcy means in the context of DynamoDB Global Tables replication

You must bring your laptop to participate and the expected duration of this workshop is 50 minutes.

The workshop contains the following chapters:

  • Getting started
  • Module 1: Launch the app
  • Module 2: Explore Global Tables
  • Module 3: Interact with Globalflix Interface
  • Global Tables Discussion Topics
