I think making them columns instead of putting them in the jsob column would make sense. Like we have a few top level properties that we currently use scan (ugh!) to generate some reports.
This is clearly a bad design and not what dynamodb should be used for. So using Podyn we could definitely improve this and having the top level properties as columns I think would make migration easier for a lot of people.
I have actually considered writing my own code (AWS Lambda) to do a sync like this, now I guess I won't have to.
Would it be feasible to make Podyn run in a scheduled Lambda function? would save us from having an EC2 around...
