Let’s create our very own Harry Potter API. We’ll use Dynamo DB as our database and then Node and Express for our server. We’ll grab Harry Potter character data from an existing API and copy it over to our own Dynamo DB.
Along the way, we’ll talk about a few different topics.
- CRUD routes in Node/Express
- Promise.all for optimizing async requests
- Testing API endpoints in Postman

Hey I know that guy! 😁 Thanks for the shout out, great video!

@banfio64 2 года назад

thank you, used this guide to help create an api for work. finding guides to help work with aws is always clutch

@harleyspeedthrust4013 3 года назад

dood i love these videos and express and aws are fantastic, two of my favorite technologies

@soulfulmusic4037 2 года назад

Thank You soo much sir! You saved me big time. Really a great tutorial and easy to grasp crud operations.

@syaefulbahri5315 Год назад

Thanks James, this is by far the most comprehensive real case study utilizing DynamoDB, It's been a year you posted this video, and I just find out today. Very helpful video. I'm struggling to go though their official documentation, maybe I'm just to lazy to dig it more ha ha.

@JamesQQuick Год назад

Wow, so glad you found this helpful!

@ericzorn3735 3 года назад

Great video. Instead of Heroku, which is very easy. I would recommend doing a video on how to containerize this app with docker and possibly deploy the docker image with kubernetes to either ec2 or eks to stay with the AWS theme

@JamesQQuick 3 года назад

hmmm, that's an interesting thought. It's a little out of my realm right now though. I don't have any docker or kubernetes experience

@ericzorn3735 3 года назад

@@JamesQQuick completely understandable. Heroku is where I often host, due to it being so powerful and easy

@prasangsinghal7887 3 года назад

Nice tutorial indeed. I have seen people doing node api tutorials using mongo only. Glad to see you used DynamoDB and so I learnt something new today. And yes, we would love to watch deployment tutorial :). Is there anything like mongoose for DynamoDB?

@JamesQQuick 3 года назад

What do you mean anything like mongoose for dynamo? Like mongoose in what way?

@prasangsinghal7887 3 года назад

@@JamesQQuick I mean we have mongoose for mongodb which makes it easy for us to define schemas and what not. Do we have something similar for DynamoDB as well?

@JamesQQuick 3 года назад

@@prasangsinghal7887 I guess I consider the aws package used in the video to be fairly simple, but probably not as detailed as mongoose. Outside of the aws package, I'm not sure

@prasangsinghal7887 3 года назад

@anythgofnthg154 2 года назад

There’s an ORM for DynamoDb called dynamoose which is inspired by mongoose. Haven’t used it but I’m interested to learn it.

@DavidWoodMusic 2 года назад

Great intro do Dynamo DB but the lack of promise handling here during the method building phase is nutty.

@JamesQQuick 2 года назад

Great feedback!

@DavidWoodMusic 2 года назад

@@JamesQQuick Obviously the promises are handled in the actual API calls, but I think it could be nice to include how to handle them when testing your database methods so people aren't left with a .then(r => console.log(r)) when they are calling their functions to test them. Really great and solid tutorial though dude. For real. I've been a developer for about 4 years now and still got a lot out of it. Big ol' fatty sub from me my friend. Kisses.
