Error: DynamoDB Query Limit Not Working
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
If your query limit is 10, DynamoDB selects ten items and then conducts the filter on those items. Hence, you will receive the data matching the filter criteria from the first 10 (limit) items. So, sometimes you might feel that the query limit is not working and you are missing some data due to this behavior.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
In such a case, the resulting DynamoDB result set will provide you with a LastEvaluatedKey that you can use in your next operation to get the rest of the results.
