⁠AWS DynamoDB local

Source⁠

Runs DynamoDB Local⁠ in "shared DB" mode (one set of tables regardless of region and credentials). The server is exposed on port 8000.

To optionally initialize your local deployment (with tables, prepopulated data, etc.), you can mount a host directory as a data volume to /bootstrap. The following file types will be used for initialization.

• *.sh files will be executed, and the environment variable, $DYNAMO_ENDPOINT_URL will be available in the scripts. For example:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  aws dynamodb create-table \
    --table-name mytable \
    --attribute-definitions AttributeName=id,AttributeType=S \
    --key-schema AttributeName=id,KeyType=HASH \
    --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=5,WriteCapacityUnits=5 \
    --endpoint-url $DYNAMO_ENDPOINT_URL
  

  Copy

• *.json files should contain a json table definition⁠. For example:

  {
    "TableName": "mytable",
    "KeySchema": [
        {
            "AttributeName": "id",
            "KeyType": "HASH"
        }
    ],
    "AttributeDefinitions": [
        {
            "AttributeName": "id",
            "AttributeType": "S"
        }
    ],
    "ProvisionedThroughput": {
        "ReadCapacityUnits": 5,
        "WriteCapacityUnits": 5
    }
  }
  

  Copy
