In the Ideal Stack Demo I caught ElectroDB being mentioned - any idea why that over DynamoDB Toolbox ?
t
I suggest trying it, it's hard to explain why because it's kind of better in every single way
Particularly typescript support
l
I can't find anyone in the wild having actually used it except someone on reddit who appears to be the author
I wondered if there was affiliation with the mentioner in the video too

I'm the one who made the video haha. I've been using the library for a few months now and reached out to the author and he's in this slack now. The primarily reason to use it is it's properly built for TS, which can't be said about any of the other options I've tried (one table and DynamoDB toolbox) Additionally the api for updates and key conditions is extremely well thought through. There's other people in this slack who use it as well, it's definitely underrated

Alright, I'm sold. I'll give it a go. Thanks
350 odd stars isn't very encouraging, but the readme is extensive and I can see effort has been put into it

You can be 351

Haha damn, the README is legit. Going to check this out. Right now I define my entity schemas in standalone JS files though that's super brittle.
