Autocreate Tables

(This feature is available since version 5.1.0)

The required tables for operation can be created during application startup. This feature is inspired by Hibernate's autocreate feature and provides the following functionality via the configuration properties with the defaults below:

spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.auto = none
spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.gsiProjectionType = ALL
spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.readCapacity = 10
spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.writeCapacity = 1

Available Modes

none

No action will be performed.

Creation

If the table creation is required, the following defaults are applied:

• All required GSIs' use spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.gsiProjectionType as the projection
• All required GIS's use spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.readCapacity / spring.data.dynamodb.entity2ddl.writeCapacity for the capacity
