AWS Serverless Match Your Data Stores to Business


Match Your Data Stores to the Business

The goal is to match the data storage to the business need and transaction type.

The key is to model your data repositories for transactional vs. query needs.

A transaction is a collection of statements that are executed one after another.

A query is a single request for data.

It is important to choose the data storage that suits your needs.

AWS serverless data storage is suitable for both transactional and query processing.
