DynamoDB and TableNameOverride with prefix

Question

I am testing DynamoDB tables and want to set up different table names for prod and dev environment using the prefix \"dev_\" for development.

I made this test to print t

Answer 1

withTableNamePrefix is a static method. So this line is creating a new instance of TableNameOverride with the String "test", and then throwing that instance away by using it to call the static withTableNamePrefix method:

TableNameOverride tbl = new TableNameOverride("test").withTableNamePrefix("dev_");

To answer the deeper question of separating test from prod, I would recommend having 2 separate AWS Accounts entirely, one for dev and one for prod. This is the only way you can:

• See billing separately
• Ensure you never leak data between prod and test systems
• Have high scaling on a dev table prevent you from scaling a prod table higher
