“The only requirement is a good table design”
Shows how good table design gives relational-style modeling on NoSQL.
I wrote a piece that touches a bit on the why: link But in a nutshell: availability and scalability. Yes you can achieve this with relational DBs, but it will be quite complex, while No-SQL gives it by design. All while ensuring all the goodness of relational data modeling, consistency and queries.

“This is a great presentation about this”
Explains modeling relations in DynamoDB tables.
Interesting question. No-SQL doesn't mean non-relational. DynamoDB is a relational database. It's up to you on how you design the table to accommodate your relations. This is a great presentation about this: this video
