aws-dynamodb-mars-json-demo

This project demonstrates how to store and query JSON data in AWS DynamoDB using the low-level Java SDK and the DynamoDB Document SDK for JavaScript. It provides a complete example of ingesting NASA Mars image metadata into DynamoDB and building a web interface to interact with the data.

Key Features

• Image Ingester — Java application that stores NASA JPL Mars image metadata in DynamoDB or DynamoDB Local.
• Image Viewer — Frontend web application for displaying and interacting with the stored Mars images.
• JSON Storage Example — Demonstrates storing JSON data in DynamoDB using the low-level Java SDK.
• Query Demonstration — Shows how to query data from DynamoDB using the DynamoDB Document SDK for JavaScript.

Philosophy

The project serves as a practical, end-to-end example of working with DynamoDB for JSON data storage and retrieval, emphasizing real-world use cases with publicly available NASA data.
