Storing and Retreiving data using Alexa

I'm trying to store and retrieve datausing Alexa. Basically the Alexa skill is supposed to store class and GPA data for the user, and I was wondering how I would be able to that. I heard if you wanted to store and Retrieve data with Alexa it would be best to use DynamoDB, but my App needs to differentiate between the data of different users, and I'm not sure how DynamoDB would allow me to do that. Or is there another way to store personalized data with alexaAny help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you already have an App that handles individual users and their data, I would implement Account Linking to link the Alexa User to a User in your system and use your existing implementation to handle the storing of Data.

Using DynamoDB is an easy way to store Alexa User info if the skill doesn't already have User Accounts implemented.

Basically a Skill is an App for Alexa, the interaction logic in the Skill can either store everything locally or connect with an API to retrieve or update info.
