sails-dynamodb-v1 — DynamoDB adapter for Sails.js

Open-source database adapter connecting the Sails.js ORM to AWS DynamoDB.

View project ↗

Context

Sails.js v1 changed its adapter interface and left DynamoDB users without a compatible adapter.

Problem

Teams on Sails v1 couldn't use DynamoDB through the Waterline ORM — they had to hand-roll AWS SDK calls, losing the ORM's consistency.

What I built

A Waterline-compatible adapter implementing the Sails v1 adapter spec against DynamoDB: schema mapping, query translation, and connection management.

Outcome

Published open source and picked up by other developers facing the same gap.
