If you create GSIs with the import process, the GSI creation uses no capacity and is free since the import is priced only on the amount of data processed by DynamoDB to import into the base table. This might save you a lot of money!

[@LoveWithAdrish]

Wow, it was way easier than I thought. Thanks for this video. :)

[@russellmaxfield]

Thanks for walking through that. I've been hearing about s3 imports but was curious on how the data needed to be in s3... JSON, of course...

[@JovenAlbarida]

thanks a billion 💠 im currently looking for this kind solution :)

[@DeeDantzler]

Thanks for all of the great content! It's been a huge help to me. Do you have any videos on AWS OpenSearch?

[@fg5392]

thank you

[@rishiraj2548]

Thanks a million

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@puravupadhyay2961]

CSV adds complex json object as string - do you have a followup video please?

[@HowdyJ]

Anything for importing to existing tables?

[@111111564]

Hi, Very nicely explained, thank you
With this its always imports to new table
how about importing data from s3 to an existing dynamo table?

[@Humanist1199]

Same doubt here

Hey, do you have any plans on releasing more full courses on Udemy that include projects that utilize multiple AWS services? Given your knowledge and expertise and also the fact that Udemy has a lack of (good) hands-on AWS courses, vast majority of AWS courses on udemy are related to exams. I passed cloud practitioner and solution architect associate with the help of those courses , but i still feel that my hands-on experience with AWS is really weak and i don't think i'm a unique case there.
So that's just a heads up, i think with the popularity of your channel and the lack of good hands-on AWS courses (with projects) on Udemy, you could potentially get a lot of students there.
P.S. i saw your Lambda course, and i 100% plan on taking it in the near future, but there are other popular AWS services that people would like to learn :)

What happens if the s3 object is greater than 400kb?

[@shezz55]

you'll get an error, and that item will not get imported

Hello and thank you for your tutorial, but your use case of DynamoDB is too simple.
To illustrate real, can you create a project from A to Z using DynamoDB. Here are some featured you can implement for your viewers to understand:
- create post
- edit post
- delete post
- search post filter by post.title order by post.createdAt
- search post filter by post.author.name order by post.title
- search post filter by tags order by popular tags
- search post filter by tags order by popular tags
- search post filter by post.viewed order by post.viewed
For that you can use NodeJS, Angular or VuJS (or just lambda function) ... the most important is DynamoDB.
