func NewFactory ¶

func NewFactory(log logger, config config, client httpClient) *factory

NewFactory creates a factory capable of creating multiple DynamoDB clients. Each client can be re-used for multiple requests so this factory doesn't need to be injected into any components. NOTE: Is it VERY important that the HTTP client that is passed to the factory is an AWS buildable client. This can be created with the following code

import (
   awshttp "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws/transport/http"
)

client := awshttp.NewBuildableClient()

Under local circumstances connecting to either a LocalDynamoDB instance, or even to AWS DynamoDB with an AWS profile, a Go HTTP client will work fine. However, for k8s deployment, it seems like the HTTP client is used for multiple requests to get the credentials (if using RBAC). (From initial investigation it looks like the AWS SDK code queries EC2 metadata

endpoints and, from there, is able to retrieve some credentials to access
AWS services)
