DynamoDB

Communicate with Amazon DynamoDB from Ruby.

This is a lightweight alternative to the official Amazon AWS gem.

The goal of this library is to be a high performance driver, not an ORM.

Usage

The API maps the DynamoDB API closely. Once the connection object is ready, all requests are done through #post. The first argument is the name of the operation, the second is a hash that will be converted to JSON and used as the request body.

Responses come back as SuccessResponse or FailureResponse objects.

require 'dynamodb'

> conn = DynamoDB::Connection.new(access_key_id: 'ACCESS_KEY', secret_access_key: 'SECRET_KEY')
 => #<DynamoDB::Connection:...>

> response = conn.post(:ListTables)
 => #<DynamoDB::SuccessResponse:...>

> response.data
 => {"TableNames"=>["my-dynamo-table"]}

For operations that return Item or Items keys, there are friendly accessors on the responses that also cast the values into strings and numbers:

> response = conn.post(:GetItem, {:TableName => "my-dynamo-table", :Key => {:S => "some-key"}})
 => #<DynamoDB::SuccessResponse:...>

> response.item
 => {"text"=>"Hey there"}

> response = conn.post(:Query, {...})
 => #<DynamoDB::SuccessResponse:...>

> response.items
 => [{...}]

TODO

  • Implement Signature Version 4
