Tracking CodeCommit Metadata with DynamoDB

We've been asked to aggregate meaningful metadata from an existing DynamoDB table with raw information about commits to a CodeCommit repository being used to track a writing project. The table has general partition and sort keys named Partition and Sort, both of which are strings. The table stream was enabled before any data was written to the table and should contain records for all the activity on the table. An essentially empty Lambda function has been provided named PrometheusMetaStreamProcessor with a pre-configured DynamoDB stream trigger preconfigured but disabled. We will need to edit the PrometheusMetaStreamProcessor Lambda function and enable the stream trigger. Once this is done, we will confirm that our stream processing is producing the desired results.

Metadata Record Requirements

• Without clobbering existing records, create a meaningful Partition value.
• In the Sort attribute, store a value that can be used to easily identify each version of a file committed to the CodeCommit repository.
• For each file in the repository, it should be possible to always find the latest commit that changed any given file with a specific key.
• Include an attribute with the commit ID for each record.
• Include an attribute to identify the commit before the primary commit in the record.
