Question: Can DynamoDB have nested objects?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB supports nested objects in a Map data type. This allows you to store complex data structures, such as JSON documents, within a single item in a DynamoDB table. The nested objects within a Map can be further nested, allowing for a flexible and powerful data model.
