Use Cases

Writing Multiple Items from a Single Object

AWS emphasizes single-table design for DynamoDB and there are cases when it is preferable to write multiple items to a table from a single object. This can be achieved multiple ways, but the simplest is to create an array within the object containing the items that will be written to the table using nested keys and the copy processor.
