Canvas DynamoDB

An opinionated way to talk to Dynamo tables.

Features

• Query Logging : statements that get executed will get written to rails debug logs
• Batch Operations: Useful helper methods for building batched read/write queries.
• Table Naming Conventions: using prefixes and semantic names.

Intentional Omissions!

We don't want to manage the tables themselves. A DynamoDB table is more like a database than a schema change. It should be managed in terraform and scaled by devops tooling.
