DynamoDB Dashboard

DynamoDB Dashboard is a lightweight web-based graphical interface for inspecting and managing local or remote Amazon DynamoDB instances. It combines a Vue.js frontend with a Node/Express backend to provide table and item-level access, query/scan operations, and real-time table activity streams for development and debugging workflows.

Key Features

• Browse, view and edit DynamoDB tables and items through a web UI
• Execute queries and scans with basic filters and view results in the app
• Real-time table activity stream support via Server-Sent Events for live updates
• Supports AWS SDK credential resolution (environment variables, shared credentials, instance metadata) using the JavaScript AWS SDK v2
• Can be run from npm as a CLI or deployed using a provided Docker image and Dockerfile
• Configurable host and port, and CLI flags for debug output

Use Cases

• Rapid local development and debugging using DynamoDB Local or a remote test table
• Inspecting and querying data during integration testing or migrations
• Lightweight admin interface for developers who need quick table/item access without using the AWS console

Limitations and Considerations

• No built-in authentication or multi-user access control; intended primarily for development and trusted environments
• Feature set is focused on browsing, queries and basic CRUD; advanced DynamoDB capabilities (complex backups, fine-grained IAM workflows) are not provided in-app
• Uses AWS SDK for JavaScript v2, so integration depends on the capabilities and behavior of that SDK version

DynamoDB Dashboard is best suited as a developer-focused tool to simplify interacting with DynamoDB instances during development, testing, and simple ops tasks. It is lightweight and easy to run locally or in a container, but not a full replacement for production-grade database management tooling.
