DynamoDB provides a rich set of data types including Strings, Numbers, Sets, Lists, Maps etc. In the Go SDK for DynamoDB, the types package contains Go representations of these data types and the attributevalue module provides functions to work with Go and DynamoDB types.
This blog post will demonstrate how to handle conversions between Go types in your application and DynamoDB. We will start off with simple code snippets to introduce some of the API constructs and wrap up with an example of how to use these Go SDK features in the context of a complete application (including a code walk though).
