This looks like a great resource. One thing I'm struggling with is the ability to sort and filter and was wondering if the book goes into detail about this topic.

If I have a person entity and its attributes listed out in a table. How would you go about sorting by first name, last name, created at, etc... I was thinking of streaming everything over to elastic search, but that would add extra complexity to maintain.



Yep! There are entire chapters on sorting & filtering. Note: it's different than in a relational database, but it's doable :)


Awesome! Glad to hear that there's a section on that. Quick question. I'm thinking of leveraging elasticsearch for the fulltext search capabilities. Is the work to get sorting on various different attributes heavy from a dev perspective and is there any advantages of doing it through dynamo rather than querying with elasticsearch?
