I frequently see people looking for simple examples of how to use one of AWS' SDKs to do simple operations on DynamoDB and other services. So I thought it was about time we had a few examples to work from that weren’t completely overwhelming. In this post, I’ll show you a few ways to use the AWS SDK for JavaScript to get data out of a DynamoDB table. I hope these will serve as a decent reference for many basic operations you might need to take to read information from your DynamoDB tables!
