Project Overview (What I Did)

In this project, I created a DynamoDB table and built an AWS Lambda function (Python) to insert data into the table using the boto3 SDK. I also configured IAM roles to securely allow Lambda to access DynamoDB. This project demonstrates serverless database operations, event‑driven automation, and proper AWS resource integration.

1. Create DynamoDB Table

Unlike RDS, DynamoDB is serverless, so you don’t create an “instance.”

You only set:

• Table name:  db-to-lamba
• Partition key: db_id(String)
• Capacity mode: On‑demand (recommended for demos)

Create the table.

2. Create AWS Lambda Function

• Choose: Author from scratch

• Function name: ****insertToDynamo

• Runtime: Python 3.14

• Create function.
