This library is hosted on an independent website, where you can find more information
about its usage at http://dynamo.jcabi.com/ . We have already seen DynamoDB Local in
Chapter 1 , Getting Started , where we saw how to use DynamoDB Local for development
purposes. Using this local version of DynamoDB, Jcabi has developed a Maven plugin
that automatically starts DynamoDB Local to run unit tests. This is very helpful, as you
can save money by not using actual DynamoDB and also continuously monitoring the
tests suite in every build.

This project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/jcabi/jcabi-dynamodb-maven-plu-
gin .

.NET

For those who are comfortable with the .NET framework, AWS has provided a complete
SDK where you can perform DynamoDB operations in C#. In Chapter 2 , Data Models ,
we have already seen some code snippets on how to use the .NET framework for Dy-
namoDB operations.

You can learn more about it at http://aws.amazon.com/sdkfornet/ .

Node.js

These days, along with primitive coding languages, Node.js is becoming popular in the
coding community. So, if you are one of the Node.js users, then there are various libraries
available that you can use directly to get started. Basically, these libraries give a Dy-
namoDB client, which you can use to invoke various DynamoDB operations such as
CRUDs.
