I was looking at the Glue Crawler resource creation docs, and saw that the DynamoDB Target object: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-glue-crawler-dynamodbtarget.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-glue-crawler-dynamodbtarget.html) The only allowed parameter is 'Path' for a DynamoDB Target of a AWS Glue Crawler resource. Interestingly, when I deployed my crawler, I noticed that **the 'data sampling' setting was automatically enabled** for my DDB data source. This is NOT the setting I want, so I am looking for a way to specify that the Crawler should scan the **entire** data source (DDB table).lg...

Hi, I am getting the following error when testing a lambda function which exports fields from a dynamodb if they are populated : "errorMessage": "'Win'", "errorType": "KeyError", The lambda function is: ----- import boto3 def lambda_handler(event, context): # Connect to DynamoDB dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb') table = dynamodb.Table('ticketing') # Get all items from the table items = table.scan()['Items'] # Create a list to hold the filtered items filtered_items = [] # Iterate through the items and check if the fields are not empty for item in items: if item['username'] and item['Win'] and item['Lose'] and item['Score']: filtered_items.append({'username': item['username'], 'Win': item['Win'], 'Lose': item['Lose'], 'Score': item['Score']}) # Return the filtered items return filtered_items ------- Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thank you :-)lg...

Hi there, As is not recommended by "Database per service" design pattern, every integration between microservices should be done with any messaging system? We have an application where users can upload videos. The API is available using GraphQL, and we have federation to route the video uploads to a cluster of servers responsible to create the video in the database (RDS). Once the video is uploaded to S3, a service that is triggered by a S3 event start a MediaConvert job to create a HLS profile. Once completed, we need to mark the video as available to viewers (updating the table). What is the best practice to do this? The convert service should connect to the database and update the record? Execute a service API to update the record? Send a SQS message that will be handle in the cluster that is connected to the database?lg...

I'm currently building a Web application that stores data on DynamoDB. I need to perform some GraphQL queries that need auth users on the Cognito user pool. My application login users with the IAM auth but when I query some information, every response is null. I'm looking for a way to query information after login retrieving the Cognito user (already retrieved in my app) and passing it to the query function. Is this possible? All the GraphQL works correctly in the AppSync view tested with Cognito user pool auth and VTL resolvers. I would like to achieve the same result on the front end but it seems like I'm missing somethinglg...

Is it possible to schedule hibernation of an instance just like Start/Stop? Am I reading correctly that hibernate is a keyword in DynamoDB https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/instance-scheduler-on-aws/components.html If so, how do I create a schedule? BTW, my EC2 instance works fine and I can manually hibernate it at will. Thank you MNlg...

I have deployed my stack and I'd like to use the Dynamo New PartiQL Editor but for some reason it is not running the query. I have checked the Inspector of the browser and looked at the Network, there is no error coming up. The query I am running is well formed and it should not present any error. Here is a example of the query SELECT * FROM "TABLE" WHERE "PK" = 'ORG#123456789' I am using the single table design pattern.lg...

When We create a dynamoDB global table by API interface using AWS Golang SDK or using AWS CLI interface it always creates it using dynamoDB 2017 version.. But 2017 version has a limitation of adding new replication region with the already data present in other regions. It mandates tables to be empty.. So we are looking for a programmatic way of creating dynamoDB Global table with 2019 version which doesn't have that problem in 2017 version.. Please do let us know is this supported ? And how to achieve this.. Thank you..lg...

Hi everyone, My client is asking about how would be the best way to customize the DynamoDB table used and created by Kinesis Data Streams. The main goal is reduce costs of this implementation but I can't find any information regarding this topic, so: - Is possible to customize the DynamoDB used by Kinesis Data Streams to reduce costs? - Is really necessary to use DynamoDb along with Kinesis Data Streams?lg...

We have a global table enabled on 2 regions. For the last 17 days cost explorer shows the following stats. On the first region (main region): 575.000 WriteRequestUnits 612,000,000.000 ReplicatedWriteRequestUnits On the second region(used as fallback) 0 WriteRequestUnits 180,000,000.000 ReplicatedWriteRequestUnits How is that even possible? Point-in-time recovery Backup is enabled but still the write changes are minimal.lg...

Hello, We are new to AWS and often seek guidance/mentoring (you show us) direction on current and upcoming tasks ie * AWS services setup/managing/optimizing * Clarification on docs that are outdated/inaccurate/confusing We currently use DynamoDB with APIs that connect to our websites. We have begun creating amplify apps (internally created and hired outside development) Ideally USA based and/or available 8am-4pm EST Considered posting in Expert help but not sure what I should be expecting/asking. (per hour per project etc etc) Thanks in advance, Jasonlg...

I have a dataset of call recording information, with fields/attributes including: Incoming Number, Dialled Number, Call Start Date, Agent(s) name. The end user will most likely want to search on Agent name, which is stored in a list attribute as there might be more than one. I can't add an index to a list attribute, so as a SQL dev I'm learning towards storing the agent ID in a different table and creating a many to many relationship between the two tables. However, Dynamo's a bit different so what's my best approach if I want to index the Agents attribute?lg...
