 ## Introduction
 
-ZIO DynamoDB is a library that is used for type-safe, efficient, and boilerplate free access to AWS's DynamoDB service. It provides a type-safe API for many query types and the number of type-safe APIs is expanding. ZIO DynamoDB will automatically batch queries and execute unbatchable queries in parallel.

 Under the hood we use the excellent [ZIO AWS](https://zio.dev/zio-aws) library for type-safe DynamoDB access, and the awesome [ZIO Schema](https://zio.dev/zio-schema) library for schema derived codecs (see here for documentation on how to [customise these through annotations](docs/codec-customization.md)).
