Single-Table Design is a data modeling technique used to represent relational data structures inside a single NoSQL table in DynamoDB. It is about putting all your data in a smart and organized way into one table (not one table per entity type!). Use a combination of primary key and indexes to link the item together and access them in a fast and efficient way.

Planning is essential in a single-table design. You need to know what your data is, how it is related to each other, and most importantly, what your access patterns are - they will dictate how you should design your items. Dynobase helps with that. Our single-table designer allows you to create a schema for your data, plan access patterns and then use it to create a table and export its definition.

Single-table design allows you to minimize the number of tables you have to create, thereby minimizing your infrastructure's operational burden. Instead of scaling, managing, and keeping backups of multiple tables, you can just focus on one.
