DynamoDB Browser
The DynamoDB view lets you look inside tables and change items without writing a single put-item command.
Tables
Section titled “Tables”The table list shows each table’s status, partition and sort keys, item count, size and billing mode, with a filter and sorting.
Create table takes a name, a partition key and an optional sort key (string, number or binary). The default is on-demand billing; Customize lets you choose provisioned capacity with read and write units.
Opening a table shows its status, keys and their types, billing mode, item count, size, global and local secondary index counts, creation date and tags.
Reading items
Section titled “Reading items”The items panel switches between Scan and Query:
- Scan reads the table page by page (25, 50 or 100 items) with Load more.
- Query takes a partition key value and, optionally, a sort key condition:
=,<,<=,>,>=orbegins_with. Queries run against the base table.
Columns are built from the data: the keys first, then the first attributes found. Values are shown as plain JSON.
Changing items
Section titled “Changing items”- Create item and Edit open a JSON editor with a toggle between plain JSON (
{"pk": "ORDER#1", "total": 42}) and DynamoDB JSON ({"pk": {"S": "ORDER#1"}, "total": {"N": "42"}}). Editing replaces the whole item. - Delete removes one item, and Delete selected removes several in one batch.
Binary attributes (B and BS) travel as base64 and are decoded when written. If an item uses binary values or sets (SS, NS, BS), switch the editor to DynamoDB JSON before editing so their exact types are kept.
