DynamoDB schema updates with AWS Amplify
According to the AWS Amplify documentation:
- "objects annotated with @model are stored in Amazon DynamoDB";
- "a single @model directive configures ... an Amazon DynamoDB table"; and
- one can "push updated changes with
amplify push".
It seems clear that amplify push creates a DynamoDB table for each @model.
My questions relate to schema updates:
I imagine that adding/removing a model or adding/removing a field in a model works by updating the schema document and then running
amplify push. Is that right?How does one rename a model or a field? How would
amplify pushknow to rename vs. drop the old and add the new?How does one implement a migration that requires some business logic, e.g., to update the contents of existing rows? Doing this without Amplify has already been addressed but it is unclear whether that would conflict with something that
amplify pushmight try to do.
