DynamoDB-Toolbox is a lightweight, type-safe query builder and abstraction layer over the AWS DynamoDB Document Client for TypeScript. It provides rich schema definitions with validation, defaults, and portability to Zod/JSON Schema, with strong support for single-table designs.

Use cases

• build type-safe DynamoDB queries in TypeScript
• validate items pushed to and fetched from DynamoDB against schemas
• implement single-table design patterns in DynamoDB
• replace the awkward AWS Document Client with a friendlier API
• share schemas between Zod, JSON Schema, and DynamoDB
• keep serverless bundle sizes small with a tree-shakable DynamoDB library

When to choose

• you use DynamoDB with TypeScript and want end-to-end type safety
• you need schema validation and defaults for DynamoDB items
• you're building serverless applications on AWS with DynamoDB
• you query multiple entities from a single DynamoDB table

When to avoid

• you use a relational or non-AWS database
• you want a full ORM with migrations and joins rather than a query builder
• your project doesn't use TypeScript and you don't need type safety
