Amazon DynamoDB with OrchestrAI
Catalog exported 2026-09-02
Operate Amazon DynamoDB from chat: create tables, enable PITR and TTL, take backups, and set up auto scaling.
OrchestrAI exposes 11 DynamoDB operations: 5 are low-risk (read-only or low-impact), 5 create or modify resources and run only after you confirm the plan, and 1 is destructive and requires a typed risk phrase. 2 of them also carry a step-level approval gate.
What teams use it for
Backend teams use OrchestrAI to create a table with the right key schema, turn on point-in-time recovery and TTL, take an on-demand backup before a risky change, register the table for Application Auto Scaling with a target-tracking policy, and inspect table status and throughput. Deleting a table is critical risk and requires a typed risk phrase; creating a global table waits for confirmation. There are no item-level operations, so reading or writing records, and restoring a table from a backup, are outside what OrchestrAI can do.
Every DynamoDB operation, with its risk level
| Operation | What it does | Risk | Step-level approval |
|---|---|---|---|
Create DynamoDB Backup |
Create an on-demand backup for a DynamoDB table | Low risk | No |
Describe DynamoDB Table |
Get details of a DynamoDB table including status, throughput, and configuration | Low risk | No |
Enable DynamoDB Contributor Insights |
Enable or disable DynamoDB Contributor Insights for a table | Low risk | No |
Enable DynamoDB PITR |
Enable or disable point-in-time recovery for a DynamoDB table | Low risk | No |
Update DynamoDB TTL |
Enable or disable DynamoDB TTL and configure the TTL attribute name | Low risk | No |
Create Auto Scaling Policy |
Create a scaling policy for Application Auto Scaling | Creates resources | No |
Create DynamoDB Global Table |
Create a DynamoDB global table for multi-region replication | Creates resources | Yes |
Create DynamoDB Table |
Create an Amazon DynamoDB table | Creates resources | No |
Register Auto Scaling Target |
Register a scalable target for Application Auto Scaling (DynamoDB, ECS, etc.) | Creates resources | No |
Update DynamoDB Table |
Update DynamoDB table settings including PITR, encryption, streams, and TTL | Creates resources | No |
Delete DynamoDB Table |
Delete an Amazon DynamoDB table | Destructive | Yes |
Risk tiers come from the catalog: low is read-only or low-impact, medium creates resources and is reversible, high modifies existing resources, destructive may lose data. Every plan that creates or changes resources is shown with its cost estimate and waits for your confirmation. Operations marked with a step-level approval pause again on their own step. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase.
Prompts that work
- Create a DynamoDB table called sessions with pk as the partition key and enable TTL on the expires_at attribute
- Turn on point-in-time recovery for the orders table in us-east-1
- Take an on-demand backup of the users table and then register it for auto scaling between 5 and 100 read units
Before anything runs
Every mutation shows its plan, cost estimate, and blast radius, then waits for your confirmation. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase. Credentials are minted per run through OIDC federation and discarded afterward; nothing you create here is invisible later, because every resource lands in the desired-state ledger where drift is detected and can be converged. Details on the security page.
Frequently asked questions
- Can OrchestrAI delete a DynamoDB table?
- Yes, but it is rated critical. You must confirm and type the risk phrase before the delete runs, and OrchestrAI shows the table details first.
- Does OrchestrAI read or write items in DynamoDB?
- No, coverage is table-level: create, describe, update settings, backups, PITR, TTL, Contributor Insights, global tables, and auto scaling. Item access is not included.
- Which DynamoDB operations need an extra approval step?
- 2 operations carry a step-level approval gate on top of plan confirmation: Create DynamoDB Global Table, Delete DynamoDB Table. One of these is classed destructive and cannot run without a typed risk phrase.
