Download and Run Amazon DynamoDB on local system

UPDATED: 21 January 2016
DynamoDB + Amazon Web Services

What is Amazon DynamoDB?
Amazon DynamoDB is a fast and flexible NoSQL database service for all applications that need consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale. It is a fully managed cloud database and supports both document and key-value store models.

Amazon provides application to run DynamoDB on your local system. So you don't have to pay for Amzon DynamoDB service while you are developing your application and works without internet connection.

Download

Installation
Step 1: Extract the downloaded file.

Step 2: Open DynamoDB folder location in command line and execute following command. 
java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb

E:\Softwares\Database\dynamodb_local_2016-01-07_1.0>java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb
Initializing DynamoDB Local with the following configuration:
Port:   8000
InMemory:       false
DbPath: null
SharedDb:       true
shouldDelayTransientStatuses:   false
CorsParams:     *
Step 3: Open http://localhost:8000/shell/ in your browser. (Note: DynamoDB works well in Google Chrome and Firefox)


Port 8000
By default DynamoDB uses port 8000. If another application running on same port then it'll throw an exception.

To use another port for DynamoDB use -port option in command line to run DynamoDB.
java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -port 8001

Command line options

  • -cors value — Enable CORS support (cross-origin resource sharing) for JavaScript. You must provide a comma-separated "allow" list of specific domains. The default setting for -cors is an asterisk (*), which allows public access.
  • -dbPath value — The directory where DynamoDB will write its database file. If you do not specify this option, the file will be written to the current directory. Note that you cannot specify both --dbPath and --inMemory at once.
  • -delayTransientStatuses — Causes DynamoDB to introduce delays for certain operations. DynamoDB can perform some tasks almost instantaneously, such as create/update/delete operations on tables and indexes; however, the actual DynamoDB service requires more time for these tasks. Setting this parameter helps DynamoDB simulate the behavior of the Amazon DynamoDB web service more closely. (Currently, this parameter introduces delays only for global secondary indexes that are in either CREATING or DELETING status.)
  • -help — Prints a usage summary and options.
  • -inMemory — DynamoDB; will run in memory, instead of using a database file. When you stop DynamoDB;, none of the data will be saved. Note that you cannot specify both --dbPath and --inMemory at once.
  • -optimizeDbBeforeStartup — Optimizes the underlying database tables before starting up DynamoDB on your computer. You must also specify -dbPath when you use this parameter.
  • -port value — The port number that DynamoDB will use to communicate with your application. If you do not specify this option, the default port is 8000.
  • -sharedDb — DynamoDB will use a single database file, instead of using separate files for each credential and region. If you specify -sharedDb, all DynamoDB clients will interact with the same set of tables regardless of their region and credential configuration.

Stop DynamoDB
To stop DynamoDB, press Ctrl+C in the command prompt window.
