A DynamoDB GUI that shows what each query costs

Every Scan, Query and PartiQL statement reports items returned, items scanned, efficiency and RCUs consumed — so a FilterExpression that throws away 95% of what you paid to read is obvious, not hidden.

DB Connect desktop database client

Visual builder and PartiQL

Scan, Query (by table or GSI) and Get Item without writing expressions — or write PartiQL with table and attribute autocomplete.

Cost on every query

Items returned · items scanned · efficiency · RCUs, plus a warning when DynamoDB stopped at its 1 MB page. Load more fetches the next page.

Item editor

Create, edit and delete items with typed attributes (S, N, BOOL, NULL, lists, maps); removed attributes are really removed.

Native capacity monitoring

Consumed vs provisioned capacity, throttles and hot-partition signals from DescribeTable — no CloudWatch needed.

AWS auth your way

Access keys, SSO profiles, or the instance/task role and default credential chain. DynamoDB Local supported via custom endpoint.

Production safety

Destructive PartiQL on production-tagged connections goes through a confirmation gate; read-only mode blocks writes.

Frequently asked

Does it support GSIs and LSIs?

Query by any Global Secondary Index from the builder. LSIs are on the roadmap.

What about numeric keys?

Partition and sort key values are typed from the table's key schema, so numeric IDs and epoch timestamps query correctly.

Can it page through large tables?

Yes — Load more continues from the LastEvaluatedKey and accumulates results and cost stats.

Does it work with DynamoDB Local?

Yes, set a custom endpoint URL in the connection form.
