Django DynamoDB Database backend

Question

Is it possible to set up an AWS DynamoDB as the database backed for a Django server? If so, how would I go about doing this?

thanks!

Answer 1

I think the answer is there's no easy way. Django supports relational databases, but DynamoDB is NoSQL.

There doesn't appear to be a backend for django-nonrel, an unofficial fork for non relational databases.

If you want to use amazon to host the database, you could use their RDS service and configure Django as you would for MySQL.
