First, let me thank you for taking the time to read my question.
My plan was to add latitude and longitude records to my faces records in dynamodb, and then use a geo library, preferably written in nodejs, to calculate nearby faces in a given radius. Thus, the plan, for example, returned people only from this 50-mile radius.
Until now, the only geo-libraries that I have tried allow me to pass the lat and long before that and confirm whether it is in the specified radius. The problem is that I have to loop the entire dynamodb table to get the results. Is there a reverse function for this in which I pass the latlong point and radius to the geo library and then the geo library gives me some latitudinal and long borders, so I can easily request it for dynamodb (e.g., (lat <: latboundary1 AND lat>: latboundary 2) AND (long <: longboundary1 AND long>: longboundary 2))
