Summary

The DynamoDB Connector, now available in Tinybird Forward, allows users to integrate their DynamoDB tables with Tinybird to enable complex SQL operations like aggregations, joins, and window functions, which are not natively supported by DynamoDB. This integration provides real-time analytics capabilities by mirroring DynamoDB tables in Tinybird with minimal lag, allowing users to publish results as low-latency API endpoints while DynamoDB handles transactional operations. Two groups can immediately benefit: Forward users can incorporate DynamoDB tables into their existing project structures using the same Git repository and CI/CD pipeline, while Classic users can now migrate their DynamoDB-backed workspaces to Forward, overcoming previous limitations. The setup involves using an interactive wizard to generate necessary access policies and configuration files, which can be managed as secrets to maintain security. The connector supports local development and cloud branches, with options for sampling data to reduce AWS costs during testing. Additionally, TypeScript or Python SDK users can easily integrate and migrate their projects using the provided tools. The migration process from Classic to Forward is streamlined, preserving existing configurations while enabling new functionalities.
