Modeling DynamoDB

0

Dear Team,

We are building an application which has documents uploaded to S3 and its metadata ingested to Dynamo DB. We have a requirement to search on the Metadata from UI. There will be approx 7 attributes on which the User can search the metadata and all of them will be optional. The requirement is only to search on metadata. No full text search requirement on the document.

Wanted to check if we would be able to use Dynamo DB for this purpose or we need to use search tools like OpenSearch ?

Please let me know if more information is required, i can update the Description.

Regards, Dhaval Mehta

    Can you provide more details on what kind of these attributes are and what is probability of them expanding in future. Opensearch is great but you will still have to configure/reconfigure the clusters among other things of maintenance.

If you need to search using more than hmm 2 arguments then you should go for OpenSearch. With small amount of arguments you can try to make more indexes, but with 7 it is no go because you will need to have index per configuration of parameters and it will be expensive to store and search.
