Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast\nand predictable performance with seamless scalability. DynamoDB lets you\noffload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling a distributed database, so\nthat you don't have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup and configuration,\nreplication, software patching, or cluster scaling.
\nWith DynamoDB, you can create database tables that can store and retrieve\nany amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. You can scale up or scale\ndown your tables' throughput capacity without downtime or performance degradation, and\nuse the Amazon Web Services Management Console to monitor resource utilization and performance\nmetrics.
\nDynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for your tables over\na sufficient number of servers to handle your throughput and storage requirements, while\nmaintaining consistent and fast performance. All of your data is stored on solid state\ndisks (SSDs) and automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones in an\nAmazon Web Services Region, providing built-in high availability and data\ndurability.
\n\n## Installing\n\nTo install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:\n\n- `npm install @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb`\n- `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb`\n- `pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb`\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Import\n\nThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.\nTo send a request, you only need to import the `DynamoDBClient` and\nthe commands you need, for example `ListBackupsCommand`:\n\n```js\n// ES5 example\nconst { DynamoDBClient, ListBackupsCommand } = require(\"@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb\");\n```\n\n```ts\n// ES6+ example\nimport { DynamoDBClient, ListBackupsCommand } from \"@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb\";\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nTo send a request:\n\n- Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).\n - See [docs/CLIENTS](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/CLIENTS.md) for configuration details.\n - See [@aws-sdk/config](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/packages/config/README.md) for additional options.\n- Instantiate a command with input parameters.\n- Call the `send` operation on the client, providing the command object as input.\n\n```js\nconst client = new DynamoDBClient({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\nconst params = { /** input parameters */ };\nconst command = new ListBackupsCommand(params);\n```\n\n#### Async/await\n\nWe recommend using the [await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await)\noperator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:\n\n```js\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n} finally {\n // finally.\n}\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nYou can also use [Promise chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises#chaining).\n\n```js\nclient\n .send(command)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n })\n .finally(() => {\n // finally.\n });\n```\n\n#### Aggregated client\n\nThe aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the \"Client\" suffix.\n\n`DynamoDB` extends `DynamoDBClient` and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods.\nThis style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.\n\nIf you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (`DynamoDBClient`).\nMore details are in the blog post on\n[modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/modular-packages-in-aws-sdk-for-javascript/).\n\n```ts\nimport { DynamoDB } from \"@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb\";\n\nconst client = new DynamoDB({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.listBackups(params);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n}\n\n// Promises.\nclient\n .listBackups(params)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n });\n\n// callbacks (not recommended).\nclient.listBackups(params, (err, data) => {\n // process err and data.\n});\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nWhen the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,\nas well as response metadata (e.g. request id).\n\n```js\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;\n console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });\n /**\n * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.\n * You can access them by specifying exception names:\n * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {\n * const value = error.specialKeyInException;\n * }\n */\n}\n```\n\nSee also [docs/ERROR_HANDLING](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md).\n\n## Getting Help\n\nPlease use these community resources for getting help.\nWe use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests, but have limited bandwidth to address them.\n\n- Visit the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/welcome.html)\n or [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/index.html).\n- Check out the blog posts tagged with [`aws-sdk-js`](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/tag/aws-sdk-js/)\n on AWS Developer Blog.\n- Ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/aws-sdk-js) and tag it with `aws-sdk-js`.\n- Join the AWS JavaScript community on [gitter](https://gitter.im/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).\n- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\n\nTo test your universal JavaScript code in Node.js, browser and react-native environments,\nvisit our [code samples repo](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests).\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis client code is generated automatically.
