Native AOT support for DynamoDB

Discussed in #3194

Hi,
I understand that NativeAOT is still a very new feature and probably most people prefer not to use it but, I wanted to suggest that we can talk about supporting it in DynamoDB SDK.

I was thinking it could be very useful if there was a source generator for mapping DynamoDB items into database models inside our code base so we can ignore using reflection and probably that would solve the support for NativeAOT.

What do you think? Is it something that you're thinking of implementing? If yes, what's the schedule?

Thank you

Needs to be reviewed by team for prioritization.

@ashishdhingra @bhoradc is there any update on this? DynamoDB is the only blocker for me. :(

I made some progress putting a PR out for the DocumentModel library to be Native AOT. The PR is targeting our upcoming V4 version. #3583

Second PR #3606 merged into V4 that updates the DataModel also known as Object Persistence Model for Native AOT support. This change will go out as part of preview 6.
