Example

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table

In this example, the DynamoDB table uses id as hash key and stores the value in the value attribute. The parameter item looks like this:

{ "id": "my-parameters", "value": "Parameter value a" }

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table that has custom attribute names

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider(
...     "ParametersTable",
...     key_attr="my-id",
...     value_attr="my-value"
... )
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table in another AWS region

>>> from botocore.config import Config
>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>>
>>> config = Config(region_name="us-west-1")
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable", config=config)
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter")
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves a parameter value from a DynamoDB table passing options to the SDK call

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> value = ddb_provider.get("my-parameter", ConsistentRead=True)
>>>
>>> print(value)
My parameter value

Retrieves multiple values from a DynamoDB table

In this case, the provider will use a sort key to retrieve multiple values using a query under the hood. This expects that the sort key is named sk. The DynamoDB table contains three items looking like this:

{ "id": "my-parameters", "sk": "a", "value": "Parameter value a" }
{ "id": "my-parameters", "sk": "b", "value": "Parameter value b" }
{ "id": "my-parameters", "sk": "c", "value": "Parameter value c" }

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> values = ddb_provider.get_multiple("my-parameters")
>>>
>>> for key, value in values.items():
...     print(key, value)
a   Parameter value a
b   Parameter value b
c   Parameter value c

Retrieves multiple values from a DynamoDB table that has custom attribute names

In this case, the provider will use a sort key to retrieve multiple values using a query under the hood.

...     sort_attr="my-sort-key",
...     value_attr="my-value"
... )
>>>
>>> values = ddb_provider.get_multiple("my-parameters")
>>>
>>> for key, value in values.items():
...     print(key, value)
a   Parameter value a
b   Parameter value b
c   Parameter value c

Retrieves multiple values from a DynamoDB table passing options to the SDK calls

>>> from aws_lambda_powertools.utilities.parameters import DynamoDBProvider
>>> ddb_provider = DynamoDBProvider("ParametersTable")
>>>
>>> values = ddb_provider.get_multiple("my-parameters", ConsistentRead=True)
>>>
>>> for key, value in values.items():
...     print(key, value)
a   Parameter value a
