Serverless DynamoDB Node Libraries

Serverless Framework
1

I’ve been reading all about how great DynamoDB is, especially with Serverless. I’ve also been looking into the single table design for NoSQL. It all looks really good and exactly what I need for my serverless project. However, I’m finding very little in mature libraries that work with DynamoDB. From what I can tell, dynamoose is the most popular, but it does not support a single table design. Amazon has their own mapper library, but it hasn’t seen an update in a year and a half.

I’m just curious what other people are using with Dynamo to manage their database interactions in their node projects?

aws-sdk

const DynamoDB = require('aws-sdk/clients/dynamodb')
const ddb = new DynamoDB.DocumentClient()

module.exports.doStuff = async () => {
  const { Item } = await ddb.get({
    TableName: 'my-table',
    Key: { id: '12345' }
  }).promise()
  console.log(`My Item: ${JSON.stringify(Item, null, 2)}`)
}

I was also looking for any modeling tool for Amazon’s DynamoDB… I’ve found dynamoose that looks promissor but I am really disappointed…

If you find anything better, let me know…

I’ve enjoyed working with Amazons NoSQL Workbench. It’s a GUI application that I’ve found helpful for data modeling, query building, etc. Definitely work a look.
