"Dynobase should absolutely be your go to tool for DynamoDB data modeling."

Dynobase's Single-Table Designer models DynamoDB items, keys, indexes, and access patterns before deployment. Single-table design places related entity types in one table so a key-based query can retrieve an item collection. Start with the reads your application needs; a single table is a design choice, not a requirement. See the current designer features.
Plan access patterns
List the reads your application needs, then model partition keys, sort keys, and GSIs around them. Save access patterns with each model and inspect their filters.
View feature details
Design sample items
Edit sample items and their attribute types, including lists, maps, sets, binary values, and nulls. Use representative values to check how entities share a table.
Group related items
Use shared partition-key values and sort-key prefixes to model item collections. Review each query pattern; the designer cannot guarantee that a model fits your workload.
Switch models and views
Keep separate saved models with their own access patterns. Switch between item and model views to inspect entities, keys, and attributes.
Export and exchange models
Export Dynobase / NoSQL Workbench 3.x model files, or use the OneTable and DynamoDB-Toolbox export options. Check generated library schemas against the library version your application uses.
Build composite key templates
Reference other attributes in modeled composite keys to keep sample values consistent. This is a modeling aid; DynamoDB does not enforce foreign keys or referential integrity for your application.
Review and deploy a table definition
Deploy the modeled table from Dynobase or export its CloudFormation definition. Review account, Region, keys, indexes, and capacity mode first. You can also import CloudFormation table definitions.

I love using Dynobase to explore my tables with a native app rather than going to the AWS console in my browser.
One of my favorite features is the ability to save common queries for simple use later. As you're implementing your data model, I recommend saving queries for each of your application's access patterns to make it easy to debug collections of items later on.
Dynobase聽is quickly becoming an essential part of working聽with DynamoDB.

Dynobase is by far the most intuitive UI tool I've used for DynamoDB, it's leaps and bounds better than the AWS console and makes it really easy to manage DynamoDB tables in a multi-region, multi-account environment.
It's made my life so much easier and allowed me to focus on the things that actually matter聽to my clients.

There are two amazing things about Dynobase.
The first is that it took so long for such a great DynamoDB client to finally arrive and the second is that it was so worth the wait.

This will be my default modeling tool from now on. Nice job Rafal.

I am FINALLY setting time aside to check out @dynobase!!
Awesome stuff so far: the capacity consumption feedback, and the configurable maximums around paginated reads and page sizes.
Strong work @rafalwilinski 馃挭
As a public service announcement, if you use DynamoDB and you haven't tried Dynobase (https://dynobase.dev)... you should.

Two things every DynamoDB fan should have.
@alexdebrie's http://DynamoDBBook.com and @rafalwilinski @dynobase client
I was given a license for @dynobase a little while ago, and it's quickly crept into my dev workflow. So much easier to interact with DynamoDB, over the AWS console. I would say if you work with DynamoDB it's a must have tool.

As a frontend developer, I used to be straight up _scared_ of databases 馃槺
Things changed when I started using AWS DynamoDB at work but as awesome as it is - the DynamoDB Web Console is not perfect
@dynobase makes DynamoDB *much* easier to work with 馃コ
If you are interested in a great #DynamoDB client, this one is fantastic.
And no, I am not forsaking #NoSQL Workbench. I just really like the work that the Dynobase team does and they make a great product.
