Command line interface for interacting with a DynamoDB instance

DynamoDB CLI

Introduction

A simple lightweight command line interface for interacting with an Amazon DynamoDB instance.

Mainly intended to work with a local instance, since current tools often struggles to work with a larger local database, but also works with AWS hosted instances.

Setup

In order to set up your connection you may use the command

dynamocli set-config

or edit the configuration file directly. The file is located in the user configuration folder

• ~/Library/Application Support/dynamocli for Mac OS

The required configurations are

• Authentication - Supports three different options
  • local - Connect to local dynamoDB
  • env - Connect to AWS instance using environment values
  • credentials - Connect to AWS instance using .credentials file
• TableName - Name of the table in the database
• Port - Port of the instance, only required if Authentication = local
• Profile - AWS profile to use. Only required if Authentication = credentials
• Region - AWS region for the instance. Not needed if Authentication = local
