I’m not at all familiar with Python code so I’m not sure what this is doing. It looks like you’re loading a DynamoDB and attempting to insert something into a table. Check out the docs for the go SDK as a good starting point:

Also head over specifically to their DynamoDB examples:

There is an example that shows how to use PutItem specifically:

github.com

awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/blob/main/gov2/dynamodb/actions/table_basics.go#L119


      
          		tableNames = tables.TableNames
          	}
          	return tableNames, err
          }
          
          
// snippet-end:[gov2.dynamodb.ListTables]
          
          
// snippet-start:[gov2.dynamodb.PutItem]
          
          
// AddMovie adds a movie the DynamoDB table.
          func (basics TableBasics) AddMovie(movie Movie) error {
          	item, err := attributevalue.MarshalMap(movie)
          	if err != nil {
          		panic(err)
          	}
          	_, err = basics.DynamoDbClient.PutItem(context.TODO(), &dynamodb.PutItemInput{
          		TableName: aws.String(basics.TableName), Item: item,
          	})
          	if err != nil {
          		log.Printf("Couldn't add item to table. Here's why: %v\n", err)
          	}

I believe you could modify that example code and accomplish what your code snippet above does.

Dean pointed you to examples for DynamoDB. For the lambda function see:
