The many ways to access DynamoDB

This article discusses various ways to restrict access to a DynamoDB instance at both the framework and implementation level, using tools such as RBAC, IAM, Terraform, Retool, and Sym.

IAM policies can be used to grant access to specific DynamoDB actions, tables, or attributes. Fine-grained access control can also be implemented using IAM's Condition attribute, which can limit access to specific DynamoDB keys or attributes. Additionally, just-in-time access can be used to grant ephemeral access to users or services for the duration of their task and revoke that access once the task is complete.
