We can access the DynamoDB table through the AWS management console directly by clicking on the items tab in the table selection and reading and writing items there directly. This is, however, inefficient, as no modern application would have us enter values manually into an interface that is grammatically accessible. 

The most powerful feature of DynamoDB is of course its REST API where we can send standard HTTP PUT/GET/UPDATE/DELETE requests. With this programmatic approach, we can send commands to the DynamoDB table through the AWS CLI. It is very well integrated with all the SDKs, and, of course, we can always perform API calls straight to the DynamoDB API.
