How can I use the AWS Java SDK to interact with DynamoDB?

You can use the AWS Java SDK to perform operations like creating tables, adding items, and querying data in DynamoDB.

Can you provide a code example for creating a DynamoDB table?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

AmazonDynamoDB dynamoDB = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder.standard().build();
CreateTableRequest request = new CreateTableRequest()
    .withTableName("MyTable")
    .withKeySchema(new KeySchemaElement("id", KeyType.HASH))
    .withAttributeDefinitions(new AttributeDefinition("id", ScalarAttributeType.N))
    .withProvisionedThroughput(new ProvisionedThroughput(5L, 5L));

CreateTableResult result = dynamoDB.createTable(request);
System.out.println("Table created: " + result.getTableDescription().getTableName());

What are the best practices for using DynamoDB with Java?

Some best practices include using batch operations for efficiency, designing your data model carefully, and using indexes for faster queries.

How do I handle exceptions when using the SDK?

You can handle exceptions by using try-catch blocks around your SDK calls and catching specific exceptions like ResourceNotFoundException or ProvisionedThroughputExceededException.
