Geospatial query in DynamoDB

I would like to know if there is any pre built feature for geospatial query in AWS DynamoDB(similar to MongoDB). I have a Nodejs (AWS Lambda) based application which needs geo spatial queries. Can you guide me how i can enable geo spatial query in dynamo db and is there any sdk available for the same.

It looks like you'd be interested in AWS's "Geo Library for Amazon DynamoDB", and you can read Jeff Barr's post about it, here. The official SDK is in Java, but there's an unofficial node port available on npm.

Depending on how complicated your queries might get, you might also want to take a look at the recent AWS Database Blog post on "Z-Order Indexing for Multifaceted Queries in Amazon DynamoDB".
