You are working on an application that saves strings in the DynamoDB table. For strings with a size more than 400KB, you are getting an item size exceeded error. Which of the following is a recommended option to store strings with a larger size using AWS services?

Answer options:

A.Compress large size strings to fit in DynamoDB table.
B.Split strings between multiple tables.
C.Save string object in S3 with object identifiers inDynamoDB.D.Open a ticket with AWS support to increase Item size to more than 400 KB.

Correct Answer – C
Amazon S3 can be used to saved items which are exceeding 400 KB. In this option, Items are saved in S3 buckets while an object identifier is saved in the DynamoDB table which points to an item in S3.
Option A is incorrect. Compressing large-size strings to fit in the DynamoDB table can be used to resolve this error. Still, it will be a short-term solution & not a recommended option for permanently resolving item size error.
Option B is incorrect. Splitting strings in multiple tables will incur inconsistency while updating items in multiple tables, & also this will not be a permanent resolution.
Option D is incorrect as the Item size of 400 KB is a hard limit & cannot be expanded.
