Update Multiple Items in DynamoDB Using Java (Guide w/ Code Examples)
DynamoDB does not provide a direct method to update multiple items at once, like a "batch update" operation. However, you can use the updateItem
method in a loop to update multiple items one by one.
In the snippet shown below, a list of items to update is defined, and the updateItem
method is called for each item in the list. The updateExpression
and expressionAttributeValues
are the same for all items, but the key of the item to update is taken from the current item in the loop. This enables a batch update.
However, you can also use a Transactional Update if you wish to update multiple updates as a single operation.
