# AWS DynamoDB Session State Provider

The **Amazon DynamoDB Session State Provider** allows ASP.NET applications store their sessions inside DynamoDB. This helps applications scale across multiple application servers while maintaining session state across the system.

If you are looking to cache session state in DynamoDB from an _ASP.NET Core_ application, try the [AWS .NET Distributed Cache Provider](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-dotnet-distributed-cache-provider) instead.
