addressing dynamodb range key size limit with workarounds: a detailed tutorial (github issue 3866)

this tutorial delves into the limitations of dynamodb's range key size, specifically the issue highlighted in github issue 3866, and provides practical workarounds with code examples using python and the boto3 library. we'll explore the problem, understand the constraints, and implement solutions to overcome them.

*understanding the issue: dynamodb's key size limits*

dynamodb, being a nosql database, excels in scalability and performance. it relies on efficient partitioning based on primary keys. the primary key in dynamodb can consist of two attributes:

1. *partition key (hash key):* used to distribute data across partitions.
2. *sort key (range key):* used to sort items within a partition (defined by the partition key).

while dynamodb offers impressive scalability, it imposes limitations on attribute sizes, including those of the primary key components. specifically:

*combined primary key size limit:* the total size of the partition key and sort key combined cannot exceed **1024 bytes (1kb)**.

this limitation, initially documented in the dynamodb documentation and further emphasized in github issue 3866, can be a significant hurdle when dealing with data that inherently requires larger key sizes. for example, you might want to store event logs with timestamps as sort keys, or you might need to encode some form of identifier within the sort key.

*the problem: hitting the size limit*

the core problem is that if your combined partition key and sort key (range key) exceed 1024 bytes when serialized to utf-8, you will encounter errors during write operations (e.g., `putitem`). dynamodb will reject the operation, leaving you with data loss or application failures.
