To store an array of objects in DynamoDB, you can use JSON format to serialize the array and then store it in a single attribute in your DynamoDB table. Here's a general step-by-step guide on how to store an array of objects in DynamoDB:

  1. Create a DynamoDB table with a primary key (usually a partition key) and any additional attributes you may need.
  2. Define a new attribute in your table to store the array of objects. This attribute should be of type String or Binary, since DynamoDB does not have a native data type for arrays.
  3. Serialize your array of objects into a JSON string. You can use a library like JSON.stringify in JavaScript or Gson in Java to accomplish this.
  4. Insert or update items in your DynamoDB table, including the JSON string representing your array of objects in the new attribute.
  5. When retrieving data from the table, remember to deserialize the JSON string back into an array of objects before using it in your application.


By following these steps, you can effectively store and retrieve an array of objects in DynamoDB. Just be mindful of the size limitations for individual items in DynamoDB, as storing large arrays may exceed these limits.
