Hey :)
Good article explaining the how, but I am left curious about the why :/
Why would you use a dynamoDB for relational data in lieu of just a relational database?

Hey Pablo,
I picked DynamoDB because of the flexible schema and scalability, and it's also very Serverless-friendly. As a plus, the on-demand pricing worked better for my use case.
When a relational database makes more sense, use that by all means.
Ok, thanks for answering :)
