To create a UUID in DynamoDB, you can use a Lambda function to generate a unique identifier for each item that is added to the table. Here is an example of how you can create a UUID in DynamoDB using a Lambda function:

  1. Create a new Lambda function in the AWS Management Console.
  2. In the Lambda function code editor, write a function that generates a UUID using a library such as uuid or uuid.v4.
  3. Here is an example of a Node.js Lambda function that generates a UUID:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');

exports.handler = async (event) => {
    const uuid = uuidv4();
    
    return {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify(uuid)
    };
};


  1. Once you have created the Lambda function, you can trigger it whenever a new item is added to your DynamoDB table by using DynamoDB Streams and a Lambda trigger.
  2. Configure the Lambda function to be triggered by the DynamoDB Stream and have it generate a UUID for each new item that is added to the table.


By following these steps, you can create a UUID in DynamoDB using a Lambda function and ensure that each item in the table has a unique identifier.
