dynamodb

DEPRECATED

This component is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version release. Please consider moving onto alternative components.

Stores key/value pairs as a single document in a DynamoDB table. The key is stored as a string value and used as the table hash key. The value is stored as a binary value using the data_key field name.

# Common config fields, showing default values
label: ""
dynamodb:
table: ""
hash_key: ""
data_key: ""
region: eu-west-1

Alternatives​

This cache has been renamed to aws_dynamodb.

A prefix can be specified to allow multiple cache types to share a single DynamoDB table. An optional TTL duration (ttl) and field (ttl_key) can be specified if the backing table has TTL enabled.

Strong read consistency can be enabled using the consistent_read configuration field.

Credentials​

By default Benthos will use a shared credentials file when connecting to AWS services. It's also possible to set them explicitly at the component level, allowing you to transfer data across accounts. You can find out more in this document.
