Single-Cluster Duality View 🃏

In DynamoDB, a single-table design stores one-to-many relationships in a single physical block while still following relational-like normal form decomposition. In MongoDB, the Single Collection Pattern unnests relationships from a single document, but goes against the general recommendation as it sacrifices one of MongoDB’s key advantages—keeping a document in a single block. In Oracle Database and MySQL, JSON-relational duality views normalize JSON documents into relational tables that span multiple blocks, also without the data-locality benefits of MongoDB. Can we turn these duality views into a document-database equivalent that keeps together the data accessed together? Here is the Single-Cluster Duality View 🥁. DynamoDB NoSQL started with a simple key‑value API. For example, DynamoDB can get an item using the full key, query multiple items using a partial key, or scan all items without a key. The value, in this key‑value datastore, is atomic, but sometimes you need partial reads o
