As part of the tact of whomever imposed that new limitation, I went looking for updated documentation that would let clients know of the new limitation but could not find any as of.I'd guess around the equivalent size of a blog post. Apparently (and I managed to verify it) someone decided that the maximum number of characters that you could "edit" or "add" in the editor was approximately 51,000 characters.A pretty handy feature when you are not doing anything really complex.

As you may be aware the Lambda UI allows you to edit code inline.

Through the "grape vine" I heard that Amazon AWS / Lambda had apparently "gimped" the Lambda UI.

*UPDATE* Dealing With Imposed UI Limitations as of 7/2016 In this case you would want to use syntax "var lambda = new AWS.Lambda(

NOTE: If you are looking to avoid deep nesting, a more recent alternative is to utilize functions like "InvokeAsync" which is now just "invoke".

So grab your 80's sneakers when you need to work with scan.

Speaking of 1MB limit, that reminds me of the statement about Windows and users never needing more than 640kb of space.So you'll need to plan accordingly as previously stated, when the table is larger than 1MB you'll have to track additional parameters to make repeated scan calls to DynamoDB to transverse the table. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to note that with the "scan" command, the maximum volume of data it will crawl in your table is limited to a rather paultry 1MB, whether or not there are any matches to the scan and whether or not the whole content of a table has been transversed - which means you have to make multiple calls if your table is larger than 1MB (strange to have such a HUGE draconian limitation on a database, especially since we are no longer in the 1990's).

In this somewhat larger example a way is shown in which you can "nest" multiple DynamoDB calls in your main function where you may employ some sort of conditional logic flow (I'll show later how to lighten up some of the nesting with recursively calling external functions).

As you can see there is not too much to making a "synchronous" DyanmoDB call in your Lambda node.js code.

You can take a closer look at the code block as a simple text file here.

This code block also shows some of the wrong ways of trying to "force" node.js to "wait" for response along with comments.

The key is, rather than have any DynamoDB function outside your main function, is to embed it INSIDE your main function as shown (there is a way to recursively call functions outside the main function which I'll show later, but if just starting out, nesting may be the easiest).

This shows a simple block of Lambda node.js code, demonstrating how to make a call to DynamoDB and wait for DynamoDB to respond before exiting out (in Node.js everything is asynchronous.so getting behavior that is "synchronous" is challenging when starting out).

When you create a new Lambda function you will have the opportunity to specify the role that you just created that the Lambda function will use for its permissions.

The logs entries allows the Lambda function to write log entries to CloudWatch (an area you can go to examine output, errors and so on). In this example, we have a fairly common policy that will allow Lambda to perform some functions associated with DynamoDB.

If you have not already established a role and policy for your Lambda function to operate under, you should create a policy and a role under the IAM interface of AWS.

This page will also show a series of form validation functions that work in Lambda node.js, along with a function to generate a random representation of a UUID number sequence in SQL-speak a UUID is typically used to represent a unique value for a primary key for a row of data since DynamoDB has no facility with which to generate a UUID number itself. The purpose of this project is to show a way to get your AWS Lambda (Node.js) code to communicate with a DynamoDB table along with supporting multiple DynamoDB queries in an event or synchronized basis.
