Answer 1

Based on the API, there is no Batch Delete for DynamoDB.

You need to query the item and delete with their partition key.

I would recommend looking at ODM,

to make the operations simpler.

Check out the sample calls for deletion,

Account.destroy('foo@example.com', function (err) {
  console.log('account deleted');
});

// Destroy model using hash and range key
BlogPost.destroy('foo@example.com', 'Hello World!', function (err) {
  console.log('post deleted')
});

BlogPost.destroy({email: 'foo@example.com', title: 'Another Post'}, function (err) {
  console.log('another post deleted')
});
