Performing operations using mobile SDKs

Amazon has given an SDK to leading mobile platforms, such as iOS and Android. We can make use of it to perform operations in a mobile application. With these simplified SDK APIs, it is very easy to do normal database operations on DynamoDB. You just need to create a design database schema, and invoke various requests to add/delete and update database entries.
