This is definitely a book for those aspiring to pass the DBS-C01 certification of course but it is much more than an exam guide.It distils the vast subject that is databases in AWS and the topics that are required to pass the exam. Each topic is backed by a comprehensive narrative that could only have been written by a seasoned DB professional who is not just conceptually strong but also been very hands-on.The exhaustive book also has a downside in that one probably needs to read a few times to digest all that is written. But this is greatly helped by a summarising cheat sheet, what to review and references for further reading.As you read the book you almost want the author to have dwelt more on say real world examples of SQL Vs NoSQL which is a classic decision that most DB professionals need to grapple with in the age of microservices and polyglot DBs and languages.But then one is reminded that the book aims to mainly take the reader through the journey of understanding the DB concepts with a view to acing the exam. In this process the author has definitely managed to pique the interest of each topic for further research and lead the reader into practical application of the knowledge gained.Cannot recommend the book more whether you are a beginner or a more experienced hand – it uses the exam topics as a great anchor to set you off on a journey to be a DB consultant worth your salt and if you already are, well, there is the perspective of a well-regarded consultant to gain.

This book has been a fantastic support in preparing for my upcoming exam ‘AWS Certified Database Speciality’, with comprehensive coverage of all of the required areas for the exam, in a way that is easy to digest. The book has supporting diagrams and screenshots from the AWS console which makes understanding the given subject easier, and starts from understanding basic database fundamentals.
