DynamoDB Dynomite Migrations Update Table Examples
Important: These docs are for the outdated Jets 5 versions and below. For the latest Jets docs: docs.rubyonjets.com
Update Table
When update is in the name, an update_table migration is created.
dynamodb/migrate/20230727232723-update_posts.rb
class UpdateProducts < Dynomite::Migration
def up
update_table :products do |t|
t.add_gsi :updated_at
end
end
end
This is useful for adding GSI, Global Secondary Indexes. GSIs take a few minutes to add. See Wait Times
Global Secondary Index Composite Key
Here’s an example that adds an index.
class UpdateComments < Dynomite::Migration
def up
update_table :comments do |t|
t.add_gsi partition_key: :post_id, sort_key: :updated_at
end
end
end
Multiple GSIs: Multiple Operations
You cannot create multiple GSIs within the same update_table call. But you can call update_table times in the same migration. Note: Each GSIs can take 8m+ to add.
class UpdateProducts < Dynomite::Migration
def up
update_table :products do |t|
t.add_gsi partition_key: "price"
end
update_table :products do |t|
t.add_gsi partition_key: "stock_quantity"
end
update_table :products do |t|
t.remove_gsi partition_key: "id", sort_key: "updated_at"
end
end
end
Update GSI
class UpdateComments < Dynomite::Migration
def up
update_table :products do |t|
t.update_gsi(
partition_key: "id"
provisioned_throughput: {
read_capacity_units: 1, # required
write_capacity_units: 1, # required
}
)
end
end
end
