Introduce

This project is a cache backend using aws dynamodb.

This is compatible with the django official cache framework.

Did you set the boto3 permission?

Enter the django official command createcachetable and get started easily.

Why should I use this?

• There are few management points, because dynamodb is a fully managed service.
• Data is safely stored unlike inmemory db.
• Because you only pay for what you use, it saves money on light projects such as side projects or back offices.
• If you need more performance, you can easily switch to DAX.

Installation

pip install django-dynamodb-cache
