Cloudyr's aws.dynamodb is convenient for reading data from DynamoDB. However, it has an unfortunately tendency to coerce things to characters. Also, I have had trouble using the put_item function to add anything but string data to DynamoDB.

AWS CLI works well. Example here:

$ aws dynamodb put-item --table-name "SOMETABLE" --item '{"aStringItem": {"S": "1900-01-02|myid"}, "aNumericItem": {"N": "2"}, "aMapItem": {"M": {"Source": {"S": "CLI"}}}}'

Two other options that haven't been mentioned are Rcpp and rJava. There are native SKDs available in both Java and C++.
