* A natural conversation flow need to happen between Alexa and the user. One need to design the dialog in a way that lets the user drive the conversation by letting him/her know that they can say "tell me more" or followup with a question such as "what are the side-effects?".

* The Alexa service share only 1 information about the user with the developed Alexa Skills. And that is the User ID, a unique identifier. It is up to the developer/designer of the Alexa Skill to ask the user the right question at the right time such as "What is your name?", "What food allergies do you have?", "What is your car make, model and year?" and to store this information in DynamoDB for future use such as "Hello John!", "There are 5 food products that have been recalled.", "There is a new recall concerning your vehicle."

* Alexa Skills can store information anywhere. Most sample codes use DynamoDB to store and retrieve user data. But data can be stored in a relational database, S3 storage or sent to any other web service. DynamoDB was recommended by AWS and Alexa presenters for its superfast read speed, data redundancy, low cost and simplicity (1 line of code to read or write data).
