Why does writing code for DynamoDb get my spidey senses tingling?

I am not the best developer, but I'm certainly not the worst.
I've got a lot of years under my belt using a host of languages and technologies, but writing code to access DynamoDb feels wrong. Very wrong. Why?

All code is a liability, I've spent my career trying to write less of it and get more done. The only thing I like better than writing code is deleting it.

But I find myself writing reams of code and performing all sorts of mental gymnastics to do previously 'simple' things with DynamoDb. CRUD, sorting, filtering all seem to require way too much code and mental effort; something doesn't 'smell' right.

Is it just me? Doth this programmer complain too much? Have I not just found a good library to take away all the pain?
