DynamoDB · supported engine

DynamoDB without the console maze.

Browse tables and indexes, run paged PartiQL, edit items natively, and import or export data - over your IAM credential chain or a local endpoint.

The inspection Mongrel runs on your PartiQL.

Click any step below to see what Mongrel checked and what it would suggest. Same view you get inside the workbench.

// Classify · read vs write

Every PartiQL statement is classified before execution. Read statements run directly; writes require Mongrel write approval first.

-- orders · us-east-1 · profile: prod
SELECT *
FROM "orders"
WHERE "status" = 'paid'
ORDER BY "created_at" DESC;

-- read statement · paged with NextToken · cancellable
-- key & index summary: PrimaryKeyLookup (order_id, created_at) · GSI status_created_idx
-- indexes are managed in DynamoDB - PartiQL runs SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE

What Mongrel ships for DynamoDB.

Table & index browser

Browse tables and their global secondary indexes. Key schemas and attribute definitions from DescribeTable, plus table sizes and item counts in the admin overview.

PartiQL editor

Write and run PartiQL statements with syntax highlighting and history. Read and write statements are classified before execution, with paging and cancel on results.

Native item operations

Insert, update, and delete items by full key - inserts reject existing keys, updates never create missing items. Edit attribute maps in place, binary and set types included.

IAM credential chain

Standard AWS credential resolution: environment variables, shared config and credentials files, named profiles, SSO, and instance or container roles.

Local endpoints

Point Mongrel at DynamoDB Local or LocalStack with a custom endpoint. Develop and test against a local table before touching AWS.

Data search

Search scans selected tables and returns at most 5,000 hits. Find matching items without turning the search into an unbounded table scan.

Capacity insight

The admin overview reports your account's read and write capacity limits alongside table status, item counts, and sizes.

AI explain & rewrite

Paste a PartiQL statement and its key and index summary. The assistant proposes a GSI, a projection, or a restructure - it suggests, you apply.

Import & export

CSV, JSON, and JSON Lines import and export per table, plus PartiQL INSERT export. Column mapping and overwrite, update, ignore, or fail conflict modes.
