DynamoDB Table

Learn how to create, configure, and manage AWS DynamoDB Tables using Alchemy for NoSQL database solutions.

The Table resource lets you create and manage Amazon DynamoDB tables for NoSQL database storage.

Minimal Example

Create a basic table with just a partition key:

import { Table } from "alchemy/aws";

const table = await Table("users", {
  tableName: "users",
  partitionKey: {
    name: "userId",
    type: "S",
  },
});

Table with Sort Key

Add a sort key to enable range queries and composite keys:

const table = await Table("events", {
  tableName: "events",
  partitionKey: {
    name: "deviceId",
    type: "S",
  },
  sortKey: {
    name: "timestamp",
    type: "N",
  },
});

Provisioned Capacity

Configure provisioned read/write capacity for predictable workloads:

const table = await Table("orders", {
  tableName: "orders",
  partitionKey: {
    name: "orderId",
    type: "S",
  },
  billingMode: "PROVISIONED",
  readCapacity: 100,
  writeCapacity: 50,
  tags: {
    Environment: "production",
  },
});
