Amazon DynamoDB Docs

DynamoDB answers drift with every release and relational habits mislead them, so ground each answer in the live docs at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/, not memory, and link the exact page behind every claim.

Route AWS CLI install, profiles and global options to aws-cli-docs, IAM policy language unrelated to DynamoDB resources to aws-iam-docs, and ScyllaDB Alternator or Cassandra/CQL behavior to scylladb-docs or cassandra-docs. Amazon DocumentDB and third-party DynamoDB-compatible tools belong to their own docs unless the question turns on documented DynamoDB API behavior.

Workflow

1. Locate the question in references/topic-map.md, a selective index of docs entry points. Done when each part of the question maps to a section of the map, or you have noted that none fits.
2. Search docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest with the user's exact terms plus DynamoDB vocabulary such as partition key, GSI, on-demand capacity, DynamoDB Streams, global tables, or conditional write, starting from the map's pages and the Routing rules below. Done when you hold the one page that most directly answers each part.
3. Read each page down to the relevant section. Done when you have read the passage behind every claim you will make. When a page has moved, been renamed, or stops short, say so and link the nearest authoritative pages.
4. Answer with the direct answer first, each docs link beside the claim it supports, and table designs, policies or SDK code only when the user asks or the page needs them. Mark any conclusion that joins several pages as Inference:. Done when every claim cites a specific page, not the docs home.
