In my current project I use a custom mock which is a simplified boto API implementation. At one of my previous projects, we made extensive use of the combination of DynamoDB and Elasticsearch for storing and querying data. While tools mentioned above are good to examine the data generated by your application the simplest way to verify your code is to build a set of unit tests.ĭynamoDB Local is too slow for unit tests and it is better to use some other dynamo mock. Table prefixesĭynamoDB has a single namespace for all tables, so it is better to use table prefixes for different environments and/or different applications.

#LOCAL DYNAMODB GUI HOW TO#
Without the -sharedDb Eclipse will use a file like AKXAX4X6XAFXIXNIXEXA_local.db. How to set up your local environment and project to perform DynamoDB local testing. To browse an application database start the DynamoDb local with the -sharedDb flag and select ‘local’ region in the AWS regions dropdown. Since AWS charges for DynamoDB, it will be a cost effective way to explore different components of DynamoDB in your local system. You can setup DynamoDB in your local system that can served as a test or dev environment.
#LOCAL DYNAMODB GUI INSTALL#
AWS ExplorerĪWS Explorer is a toolkit for eclipse which contains the DynamoDb GUI. In this blog post we are going to install DynamoDB in local system and then make a connection to it and create a table. Without the -sharedDb it will use _us-west-2.db file.Īccess key can be set in shell settings, but the region name is hard-coded as us-west-2 (see source in chrome dev tools, /shell/jsrepl/sandbox.js file).
#LOCAL DYNAMODB GUI ARCHIVE#
dynamo-archive - Archive and Restore DynamoDB TablesĭynamoDB local also has a web shell available via Make sure you launched the database with a -sharedDb flag.

The package for SNS is called awsdynamodb. Note: If you are using the GUI installer, the packages are pre-installed. The first step is to install the DynamoDB package in ColdFusion.
