This tutorial takes you through the basics of using DynamoDB, focussing on using the NodeJS SDK.
The tutorials themselves can be found in the tutorial folder. The corresponding scripts are numbered accordingly, and are found in the root of this repository.
For convenience, included is a docker-compose file which will spin up a dockerised DynamoDB service, and build a NodeJS container image. You can, of course, use AWS's actual DynamoDB instead. You will need to provide the endpoint and credentials in config.json.
Install
docker-compose up --build
Running the following should install your table
docker run -it -v"$PWD:/home/node" -w"/home/node" --network=dynamodb_default --rm --name dynamoclient node:10 node 1-a-create-table.js
Simply replace 1-a-create-table.js with the desired script name to run the other scripts.
