Public-works as-built PDF plan sets are large. How should a developer persist them alongside DynamoDB case metadata?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Giant plan sets belong in object storage. Keep the pointer and searchable metadata in DynamoDB; park the PDF bytes in S3.
Full Explanation
DynamoDB items have a 400 KB size limit and are a poor place for large binaries. The standard pattern stores large objects in S3 and references them from the database item (keys, content type, checksums). EBS on Lambda is ephemeral/instance-bound and unsuitable as shared durable object storage; splitting PDFs across many items adds fragility without solving object delivery.
