Arrays

Different forms of initializing an array

int[] numAnimals; int [] munAnimals2; int numAnimals3[]; int numAnimals4 [];

String Array and int array 'a' -> 97

String[] towns = {"Antigua", "Escuintla", "Coban"} int[] numbers = {100, 2, -9, 'a'};

Serverless Rest API

The service I'm currently working has the following structure:

(Since chalice is a serverless microframework we put libs under chalibelib)

app.py - define the route and the methods, returns a response
validations.py - define the mandatory and non_editable attributes and validate based on requirements
databases.py - dynamoDB table.scan() and table.put_item()
custom_reponses - make the http response based on status code, body and headers

DynamoDB

I'm using DynamoDB as a document database for the moment.

Tables: Collection of data

Items: Group of attributes that is uniquely identifiable.

Attributes: Fundamental data element.

Document Sample, volcanoId is the primary Key

[ { "volcanoID":205, "name":"Tajumulco", "elevation":4220, "coordinates":{ "N":"15-02-04", "W":"91-54-12″ }, "last_eruption": 1863 }, { "volcanoID": 206, "name": "Tacaná", "elevation": 4060, "coordinates" : { "N": "15.07.48", "W": "92.06.45″ }, "last_eruption":1986 } ]

Primary Key: Identifier for the item.

Secondary Indexes: used for queries.
