DynamoDB Connector Overview

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that you can use to create database tables where you can store structured and unstructured data.

When you read data from or write data to DynamoDB tables, you can specify the Informatica Cloud Hosted Agent or the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent. Create a DynamoDB connection to specify the location of DynamoDB sources, lookups, and targets you want to include in a task. You can use the DynamoDB connection in data synchronization and mapping configuration tasks. Create a data synchronization task to synchronize data between a source and target. Create a mapping configuration task to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template.

You work in a marketing firm and business analysts in your organization need to analyze trends based on tweets on Twitter.

You use DynamoDB Connector to consolidate the tweets from different users and store the unstructured data in DynamoDB tables.
