Is it possible to sync mobile local data with one central dynamodb using cognito-sync?

I'm new to AWS services and want to understand if dynamodb and cognito dynamics can be used in this specific scenario:

  • publish data from the company's office to several tables on one central dynamodb
  • use cognito sync in the mobile app to periodically get these tables copied to local storage on the mobile device (one-way sync from the central speaker to remote mobile devices).

I understand that cognito sync is usually used to sync user profile data, but I would like to understand if it can be used differently (one dynamodb repository for all authorized mobile users).

Thanks, Mario

No, Amazon Cognito Sync provides its own identity store (that is: storage not shared between users of your application), but if you want to have a shared DynamoDB database, you can still use Amazon Cognito Identity with a role that grants read access to these tables for your users.

You can use AWS Cognito Sync Events to run AWS Lambda. Then, use the Cognito Sync data passed to the event to update the AWS Dynamodb table.
