Amazon DynamoDB Libraries, Mappers, and Mock Implementations Galore!

Today’s guest blogger is Dave Lang, Product Manager of the DynamoDB team, who has a great list of tools and SDKs that will allow you to use DynamoDB from just about any language or environment.

Since its launch in January, DynamoDB has seen great adoption among our customers; many of them are using it for high scale workloads, which we love.

The community has done a great job of creating open source libraries that use DynamoDB. In this post, I want to call out some of the major open source libraries that our customers have built. I also want to thank our open source contributors for sharing their libraries with the community!

Here's a listing of all of the open source libraries, Object-Relational Mappers, and Mock implementations that I am aware of, along with our own AWS SDKs:

Language	Library	Mapper	Mock
ColdFusion	CFDynamo
Django	django-dynamodb-sessions
Erlang	Dinerl ddb Erlcloud
Groovy / Grails		DynamoDB GORM
Java	AWS SDK for Java	jsoda phoebe-dynamodb	Alternator
JavaScript	Backbone-dynamodb
.NET	AWS SDK for .NET
Node.js	Dynode awssum dynamo dyndb	Dynasaur
Perl	Net::Amazon::DynamoDB
PHP	AWS SDK for PHP
Python	Boto	DynamoDB-Mapper	ddbmock
Ruby	AWS SDK for Ruby Fog	mince_dynamo_db Dynamoid	fake_dynamo clientside_dynamodb

Please let us know (leave a comment) if I have missed any and we'll update the table. If you are an aspiring open source developer and you are looking for a new project, you may want to think about building a mapper or a mock implementation for one of the languages listed above.

Thrilled to see Perl in the list. Now I can start using DynamoDB in a project I wanted to do.

I have a node.js binding as well: http://github.com/jed/dynamo

In Ruby land fog also has support for dynamo db: http://github.com/fog/fog

For mock DynamoDB with Java, could you please add my project, Alternator: https://github.com/mboudreau/Alternator/

There is a 404 for clientside_dynamodb, instead use the new url:
https://github.com/esilverberg/clientside_aws

I just released a first (very alpha) DynamoDB mock for Python http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ddbmock It supports running as a "Boto extension", which, I think, is nice for unittesting :)
