What is aws-cdk.aws-dynamodb?
The AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) provides a set of constructs for working with AWS DynamoDB, a fully managed NoSQL database service. The aws-cdk.aws-dynamodb module offers a programmatic interface to define and configure DynamoDB tables, global secondary indexes, and associated IAM permissions, allowing developers to manage their DynamoDB infrastructure as code. This approach promotes consistency, repeatability, and scalability in DynamoDB deployments, simplifying the provisioning and management of DynamoDB resources within larger AWS solutions
Highlights
- Declarative table definitions with options for provisioned or on-demand capacity modes, encryption, and backup configurations
- Support for global secondary indexes with customizable projection types and read/write capacity
- Integrated IAM role and policy management for DynamoDB table and index access
- Programmatic control over DynamoDB table autoscaling, including scaling thresholds and cooldown periods
- Seamless integration with other AWS CDK constructs for building end-to-end cloud applications
