Terraform module to create a DynamoDB table.

module "dynamodb_table" {
  source   = "terraform-aws-modules/dynamodb-table/aws"

  name     = "my-table"
  hash_key = "id"

  attributes = [
    {
      name = "id"
      type = "N"
    }
  ]

  tags = {
    Terraform   = "true"
    Environment = "staging"
  }
}

Warning: enabling or disabling autoscaling can cause your table to be recreated

There are two separate Terraform resources used for the DynamoDB table: one is for when any autoscaling is enabled the other when disabled. If your table is already created and then you change the variable autoscaling_enabled then your table will be recreated by Terraform. In this case you will need to move the old aws_dynamodb_table resource that is being destroyed to the new resource that is being created. For example:

terraform state mv module.dynamodb_table.aws_dynamodb_table.this module.dynamodb_table.aws_dynamodb_table.autoscaled

• Basic example
• Autoscaling example
• Global tables example
