AWS SDK for Java 2.x - Amazon DynamoDB
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Creating, updating, or deleting DynamoDB tables
- Performing CRUD operations on DynamoDB items
- Querying or scanning tables
- Working with Global Secondary Indexes (GSI) or Local Secondary Indexes (LSI)
- Implementing batch operations for efficiency
- Using DynamoDB transactions
- Integrating DynamoDB with Spring Boot applications
- Working with DynamoDB Enhanced Client for type-safe operations
Dependencies
Add to pom.xml:
<!-- Low-level DynamoDB client -->
<dependency>
<groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
<artifactId>dynamodb</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Enhanced client (recommended) -->
<dependency>
<groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
<artifactId>dynamodb-enhanced</artifactId>
</dependency>
Client Setup
Low-Level Client
import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.dynamodb.DynamoDbClient;
DynamoDbClient dynamoDb = DynamoDbClient.builder()
.region(Region.US_EAST_1)
.build();
Enhanced Client (Recommended)
import software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.DynamoDbEnhancedClient;
DynamoDbEnhancedClient enhancedClient = DynamoDbEnhancedClient.builder()
.dynamoDbClient(dynamoDb)
.build();
Entity Mapping
To define DynamoDB entities, use @DynamoDbBean annotation:
@DynamoDbBean
public class Customer {
@DynamoDbPartitionKey
private String customerId;
@DynamoDbAttribute("customer_name")
private String name;
private String email;
@DynamoDbSortKey
private String orderId;
// Getters and setters
}
For complex entity mapping with GSIs and custom converters, see Entity Mapping Reference.
CRUD Operations
Basic Operations
// Create or update item
DynamoDbTable<Customer> table = enhancedClient.table("Customers", TableSchema.fromBean(Customer.class));
table.putItem(customer);
// Get item
Customer result = table.getItem(Key.builder().partitionValue(customerId).build());
// Update item
return table.updateItem(customer);
// Delete item
table.deleteItem(Key.builder().partitionValue(customerId).build());
Composite Key Operations
// Get item with composite key
Order order = table.getItem(Key.builder()
.partitionValue(customerId)
.sortValue(orderId)
.build());
Query Operations
Basic Query
import software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.model.QueryConditional;
QueryConditional queryConditional = QueryConditional
.keyEqualTo(Key.builder()
.partitionValue(customerId)
.build());
List<Order> orders = table.query(queryConditional).items().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Advanced Query with Filters
import software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.Expression;
Expression filter = Expression.builder()
.expression("status = :pending")
.putExpressionValue(":pending", AttributeValue.builder().s("PENDING").build())
.build();
List<Order> pendingOrders = table.query(r -> r
.queryConditional(queryConditional)
.filterExpression(filter))
.items().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
For detailed query patterns, see Advanced Operations Reference.
Scan Operations
// Scan all items
List<Customer> allCustomers = table.scan().items().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
// Scan with filter
Expression filter = Expression.builder()
.expression("points >= :minPoints")
.putExpressionValue(":minPoints", AttributeValue.builder().n("1000").build())
.build();
List<Customer> vipCustomers = table.scan(r -> r.filterExpression(filter))
.items().stream()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Batch Operations
Batch Get
import software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.model.*;
List<Key> keys = customerIds.stream()
.map(id -> Key.builder().partitionValue(id).build())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
ReadBatch.Builder<Customer> batchBuilder = ReadBatch.builder(Customer.class)
.mappedTableResource(table);
keys.forEach(batchBuilder::addGetItem);
BatchGetResultPageIterable result = enhancedClient.batchGetItem(r ->
r.addReadBatch(batchBuilder.build()));
List<Customer> customers = result.resultsForTable(table).stream()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Batch Write
WriteBatch.Builder<Customer> batchBuilder = WriteBatch.builder(Customer.class)
.mappedTableResource(table);
customers.forEach(batchBuilder::addPutItem);
enhancedClient.batchWriteItem(r -> r.addWriteBatch(batchBuilder.build()));
Transactions
Transactional Write
enhancedClient.transactWriteItems(r -> r
.addPutItem(customerTable, customer)
.addPutItem(orderTable, order));
Transactional Read
TransactGetItemsEnhancedRequest request = TransactGetItemsEnhancedRequest.builder()
.addGetItem(customerTable, customerKey)
.addGetItem(orderTable, orderKey)
.build();
List<Document> results = enhancedClient.transactGetItems(request);
Spring Boot Integration
Configuration
@Configuration
public class DynamoDbConfiguration {
@Bean
public DynamoDbClient dynamoDbClient() {
return DynamoDbClient.builder()
.region(Region.US_EAST_1)
.build();
}
@Bean
public DynamoDbEnhancedClient dynamoDbEnhancedClient(DynamoDbClient dynamoDbClient) {
return DynamoDbEnhancedClient.builder()
.dynamoDbClient(dynamoDbClient)
.build();
}
}
Repository Pattern
@Repository
public class CustomerRepository {
private final DynamoDbTable<Customer> customerTable;
public CustomerRepository(DynamoDbEnhancedClient enhancedClient) {
this.customerTable = enhancedClient.table("Customers", TableSchema.fromBean(Customer.class));
}
public void save(Customer customer) {
customerTable.putItem(customer);
}
public Optional<Customer> findById(String customerId) {
Key key = Key.builder().partitionValue(customerId).build();
return Optional.ofNullable(customerTable.getItem(key));
}
}
For comprehensive Spring Boot integration patterns, see Spring Boot Integration Reference.
Testing
Unit Testing with Mocks
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
class CustomerServiceTest {
@Mock
private DynamoDbClient dynamoDbClient;
@Mock
private DynamoDbEnhancedClient enhancedClient;
@Mock
private DynamoDbTable<Customer> customerTable;
@InjectMocks
private CustomerService customerService;
@Test
void saveCustomer_ShouldReturnSavedCustomer() {
// Arrange
when(enhancedClient.table(anyString(), any(TableSchema.class)))
.thenReturn(customerTable);
Customer customer = new Customer("123", "John Doe", "john@example.com");
// Act
Customer result = customerService.saveCustomer(customer);
// Assert
assertNotNull(result);
verify(customerTable).putItem(customer);
}
}
Integration Testing with LocalStack
@Testcontainers
@SpringBootTest
class DynamoDbIntegrationTest {
@Container
static LocalStackContainer localstack = new LocalStackContainer(
DockerImageName.parse("localstack/localstack:3.0"))
.withServices(LocalStackContainer.Service.DYNAMODB);
@DynamicPropertySource
static void configureProperties(DynamicPropertyRegistry registry) {
registry.add("aws.endpoint",
() -> localstack.getEndpointOverride(LocalStackContainer.Service.DYNAMODB).toString());
}
@Autowired
private DynamoDbEnhancedClient enhancedClient;
@Test
void testCustomerCRUDOperations() {
// Test implementation
}
}

Best Practices
- Use Enhanced Client: Provides type-safe operations with less boilerplate
- Design partition keys carefully: Distribute data evenly across partitions
- Use composite keys: Leverage sort keys for efficient queries
- Create GSIs strategically: Support different access patterns
- Use batch operations: Reduce API calls for multiple items
- Implement pagination: For large result sets use pagination
- Use transactions: For operations that must be atomic
- Avoid scans: Prefer queries with proper indexes
- Handle conditional writes: Prevent race conditions
- Use proper error handling: Handle exceptions like
ProvisionedThroughputExceeded
Common Patterns
Conditional Operations
PutItemEnhancedRequest request = PutItemEnhancedRequest.builder(table)
.item(customer)
.conditionExpression("attribute_not_exists(customerId)")
.build();
table.putItemWithRequestBuilder(request);
Pagination
ScanEnhancedRequest request = ScanEnhancedRequest.builder()
.limit(100)
.build();
PaginatedScanIterable<Customer> results = table.scan(request);
results.stream().forEach(page -> {
// Process each page
});
Performance Considerations
- Monitor read/write capacity units
- Implement exponential backoff for retries
- Use proper pagination for large datasets
- Consider eventual consistency for reads
- Use
ReturnConsumedCapacityto monitor capacity usage
