Question: Can DynamoDB store images?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Theoretically, it is possible to store images in DynamoDB. However, DynamoDB has a maximum item size of 400KB per item. Hence, it is not recommended to store images in DynamoDB, but rather store a reference (url) to an uploaded image (through S3, Cloudinary).
