• Java Runtime Engine (JRE) version 6.x or newer to run dynamodb locally

• Support offline development with dynamodb, lambda and API Gateway
• Support local dynamodb seeds/migrations
• Build automation in client and server to ease local development
• Rich request template
• Lambda CRUD operations for a Todo application with live reload
• React web application to utilize the API

We have used serverless-offline plugin and serverless-dynamodb-local plugin in this boilerplate. You can declare your table templates and seeds in offline/migrations folder just like the todo.json template. When you spin up the offline server, these tables will be used as the datasources for your lambda functions.

Thanks to the offline plugin's environment variable IS_OFFLINE we can select between local dynamodb and aws dynamodb.

var dynamodbOfflineOptions = {
        region: "localhost",
        endpoint: "http://localhost:8000"
    },
    isOffline = () => process.env.IS_OFFLINE;

var client = isOffline() ? new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient(dynamodbOfflineOptions) :  new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();
