DynamoDB
Key-value + document store — tables, indexes, TTL, transactions, streams, PartiQL.
Quick start
import boto3
ddb = boto3.client("dynamodb", endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
region_name="us-east-1",
aws_access_key_id="test", aws_secret_access_key="test")
ddb.create_table(TableName="t",
KeySchema=[{"AttributeName":"pk","KeyType":"HASH"}],
AttributeDefinitions=[{"AttributeName":"pk","AttributeType":"S"}],
BillingMode="PAY_PER_REQUEST")
ddb.put_item(TableName="t", Item={"pk":{"S":"k1"},"data":{"S":"v1"}})

CloudFormation
The CloudFormation engine provisions these resource types via this service:
AWS::DynamoDB::Table
See CloudFormation engine for intrinsic support and lifecycle details.
Known limitations
- Streams can be enabled on a table, but no stream records are produced — downstream Lambda triggers will not fire.
- Global tables return successful responses but do not replicate across regions (local state is shared across regions within an account anyway).
