Question: Can we store list in DynamoDB?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, you can store a list in DynamoDB. However, it is essential to note that DynamoDB is a NoSQL database that stores items in a key-value format. To store a list in DynamoDB, you would need to serialize the list into a format that can be stored as a single value, such as a JSON string. DynamoDB has a limit of 400KB per item, so it may not be suitable for storing very large lists.
