dynamo-store is designed to make multi-sharded data storage in DynamoDB seamless.
Out of the box it supports:
- Automatic sharding of child dictionaries into other tables (useful for getting around 400KB limit of DyanmoDB)
- Encryption of data at rest using 128bit AES_CBC
- Automagic serialization of objects to tables
DyStore represents a DynamoDB table. The structure of your tables should be represented with DyStore objects, including paths to shards in each table. The DyStore object stores enough information in the tables when serialized to allow recreation of DyStore objects to make life easier in some cases. This means once a object is written to a DyStore, it can be reconstructed from stored metadata in the table.
DyObject represents an object in a DyStore. It relies on jsonmodels to control how your object will serialize to JSON which will ultimately end up in your DynamoDB table.
The root and shard DyObjects should implement the following class variables when inheriting DyObject:
- TABLE_NAME = 'Shard1' # Table to save this shard to in AWS
- REGION_NAME = 'us-east-2' # Region to sav eto in AWS
- PRIMARY_KEY_NAME = 'IDX' # Primary key name to use
- IGNORE_LIST =
[]# Variables names to ignore during serialisation - CONFIG_LOADER = config_loader() # Class level config loader to prevent having to pass into
save()andload()Otherwise the above class variables are all optional.
The config_loader(config, **kwargs) is a callback that is used in DyStore and DyObject calls to control certain operations of dynamo-store. The first parameter config specifies which configuration item is being queried, and the rest of the keyword arguments are context sensitive data for the call.
The config parameter will be one of the CONFIG_LOADER_* class variables defined in DyStore or DyObject, they are documented in the API documentation below.
DyObject supports both config_loader passed into save() and load() as well as a class level config loader using the CONFIG_LOADER class variable. The passed in config loader takes precendence over class variable instance.
