1.2. Accessing DynamoDB Tables

Once data models are defined, they can be used to interact with DynamoDB tables. This is via the awstin.dynamodb.DynamoDB class, which connects to DynamoDB either via the AWS_REGION (in production) or the TEST_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT (in integration tests) environment variable. Tables are accessed from the awstin.dynamodb.DynamoDB instance via indexing by awstin.dynamodb.DynamoModel subclasses.

from awstin.dynamodb import DynamoDB


dynamodb = DynamoDB()
table = dynamodb[Movie]
