We know that Apache Kafka ® is great when you’re dealing with streams, allowing you to conveniently look at streams as tables. Stream processing engines like KSQL furthermore give you the ability to manipulate all of this fluently. But what about when the relationships between items dominate your application? For example, in a social network, understanding the network means we need to look at the friend relationships between people.

In this blog, we examine DynamoDB reporting and analytics, which can be challenging given the lack of SQL and the difficulty running analytical queries in DynamoDB. We will demonstrate how you can build an interactive dashboard with Tableau, using SQL on data from DynamoDB, in a series of easy steps, with no ETL involved. DynamoDB is a widely popular transactional primary data store.

Amazon DynamoDB is a managed NoSQL database in the AWS cloud that delivers a key piece of infrastructure for use cases ranging from mobile application back-ends to ad tech. DynamoDB is optimized for transactional applications that need to read and write individual keys but do not need joins or other RDBMS features. For this subset of requirements, DynamoDB offers a way to have a virtually infinitely scalable datastore that requires minimal maintenance.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
