Question: How to import data from S3 to DynamoDB?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Dynobase provides an "Import to Table" feature, which allows you to import data from a CSV or JSON file stored in S3 into a DynamoDB table. This feature is available in the table context menu and can save you a lot of time if you have a small or medium-sized dataset you need to import.
To use this feature, you need to specify the S3 bucket, the object key of the file you want to import, and the table where you want to import the data. Once you've done that, Dynobase will automatically import the data from the S3 file into the DynamoDB table.
It's important to note that when you import data from S3 to DynamoDB, you need to make sure that the data is in the correct format and that it meets the requirements of DynamoDB. You can also use the AWS SDKs or the DynamoDB API to perform the import programmatically.
