DynamoDB - with Serverless
How can you optimize a Lambda function that writes multiple items to DynamoDB to reduce the number of API calls?
AWrite items to a temporary file and upload later
BUse batchWrite operation to write multiple items in one request
CCall put operation sequentially for each item
DUse scan operation before each put to check duplicates
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify batch operations in DynamoDB

    DynamoDB supports batchWrite to write multiple items in a single API call.
  2. Step 2: Compare with sequential puts

    Sequential puts cause many calls; batchWrite reduces overhead and latency.
  3. Final Answer:

    Use batchWrite operation to write multiple items in one request -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    BatchWrite reduces API calls for multiple writes [OK]
Quick Trick: Use batchWrite for multiple item writes in one call [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Using sequential put calls causing slow performance
  • Writing to files instead of DynamoDB
  • Unnecessary scans before writes
