Ingest CSV data to Amazon DynamoDB using AWS Lambda

Database Blog



This article provides a comprehensive guide to ingesting CSV data into Amazon DynamoDB using AWS Lambda, creating a serverless ETL pipeline with the following key features:

  • Automatically triggered by S3 file uploads
  • Processes CSV files and writes data to DynamoDB
  • Implements error handling and retry logic
  • Creates JSON copies of processed data
  • Supports audit trails by tracking unprocessed items

The solution addresses data ingestion challenges by providing a scalable, event-driven approach that can handle 1,000 to 1 million rows per file. It includes built-in error handling, performance optimization, and compliance-friendly logging mechanisms.

Key benefits include automated data processing, serverless architecture, and minimal maintenance requirements for CSV-to-DynamoDB data transfers.
