Connecting an existing DynamoDB database to retool

  • Goal: I have a DynamoDB with a lot of data that I'm trying to connect to retool so I can visualise easily my data

  • Steps: The only piece of documentation I found is to create a DynamoDB resource.

Hi @ramzi-inex - welcome to the forums. The steps to bring the data into Retool to work with the data are:

  1. Setup the DynamoDB resource
    Connect to Amazon DynamoDB | Retool Docs
  2. Create a query from the DynamoDB, for example using SQL
    Read data from SQL databases | Retool Docs, and
    Querying a table - Amazon DynamoDB
  3. Add the results of that query to a component, for example a table
    Display and edit data with the Table component | Retool Docs

Is there a particular step you are stuck on? Could you share a screenshot of whatever issue you are running into?
