Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

DynamoDB Abstract Repository

Create repositories with custom indexation for easy lookup and hierarchy filter queries.

Out-of-the-box features:

  • Custom lookup and hierarchy filter index with support for complex projections
  • Automatically queries the required indexes based in the parameters provided in the item retrieval request
  • Optimistic Locking with Version Number
  • Enable / disable item overwrite
  • Declarative expression builder for condition, projection and update expressions
  • Custom counters update actions on entity create, update and delete

Considerations

This implementation does not uses DynamoDB secondary indexes (LSI/GSI) for indexing and querying. It manually creates the index entries in the same table as the item using a transaction. Also, it does not performs updates using the UpdateItem operation, so in all updates you must provide the entire item - you must get the item, modify it and then save it.

Advantages:

  • Indexation strategies more flexible than LSI/GSI
  • Easy to use, understand and maintain: no need to roll custom indexation strategies or write multiple commands to retrieve items based on indexes
  • Simpler item update and consistent repository structure

Disadvantages

  • The write operations is not optimized for cost as we use transactions and do not supports UpdateItem opreations
  • The use of transactions for synchronous indexation increase the latency, as the TransactionWrite operation is far slower than PutItem operation

Next Steps

We're currently extensively testing the library and planning library interfaces improvements for the next releases

Installation

$ npm install dynamodb-abstract-repository

see on npm
