✅ - Seed Dynamo DB

[spark geyser]

Hello,

Is there a prefered way to seed the DB generated by the amplify schema with test data?

I found some documentation about sharing data across builds here, but nothing about initial seeding. Any help would be appreciated.

Currently, the AWS Amplify does not offer an out-of-the-box solution for seeding or pre-populating data into your database. However, you have the flexibility to create your own custom script or program to insert the desired data into your database.

adding to to the information:
https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-backend/issues/875: RFC on seeding data
While as anil suggested you may need to create a script for initial seeding. you can additionally use the console to seed data up to a 100 records at a time for the deployed branches. The documentation is currently in works but these are the steps
