Domain expertise for connecting AWS Lambda functions to DynamoDB tables, including IAM execution role creation, function deployment, DynamoDB stream configuration, and event source mapping setup.
To set up end-to-end Lambda-DynamoDB integration with IAM roles, streams, and event source mapping, follow the procedure exactly. See Lambda-DynamoDB connection procedure (opens in a new tab).
Verify the event source mapping is active, DynamoDB streams are enabled with the correct view type, and the execution role has proper permissions. See the full procedure (opens in a new tab) for details.
Check the IAM role has AWSLambdaDynamoDBExecutionRole attached and the trust
policy allows Lambda to assume it.
Increase the timeout setting or adjust the batch size in the event source mapping.
Connects an AWS Lambda function to DynamoDB with IAM roles, stream event source mapping, and read/write permissions. Use when setting up Lambda-DynamoDB integration, processing DynamoDB stream events, or deploying serverless event-driven architectures.
