TL;DR - Do you know of any working Lua based libraries that give access to the AWS DyanmoDB or the AWS RDS services?
Slightly more detail…
I am currently investigating AWS with an eye on these specific services:
- S3 - Simple Storage Service ( SUCCESSFULLY USING )
- DynamoDB - NoSQL Datbase Service ( PUZZLED SO FAR )
- RDS - Relational Database Service ( PUZZLED SO FAR )
Thus far I have succeeded in modifying existing Lua libraries to allow me to access S3 buckets, including uploading arbitrary files, downloading files, listing contents, etc.
I am now trying to work out how to access and modify the two database services.
This is where I finally get to my questions:
-
Do you know of any Working (or almost working) Lua based libraries for accessing these services?
- I’m seeing a lot of LuaRocks and NGINX solutions.
- These are OK, but introduce a lot of wrinkles I’d like to avoid.
- Having said that, if you’ve used a solution recently that uses one of these and it works, by all means post a link.
- Do you know of any working and relatively simple solutions in other languages?
I have been reading code all over the place, but I know that this may be interesting enough to others here, that some of you may be interested in pointing me in the right direction or helping to find solutions.
Final notes.
- This thread is about AWS only.
- I am investigating other options including:
- Updating Coronium.
- PHP + MySQL on my own server
- …
So, please don’t suggest I use something else. I very much want to see if we (or I if nobody answers) can come up with some easily-used AWS apis for the Corona community to use.
Cheers,
Ed
PS - One more thing. I’m much more interested in solving the DynamoDB question. I’d much rather work with a NoSQL database and I think such library would be much more useful to the community. I will fall back to a relational DB if I have to… Also, a solution for one may give hints on how to solve at least the authentication handshake of the other.
