DynamoDB Image Buildkite Plugin

A Buildkite plugin that introspects the schema of DynamoDB tables and then publishes multi-arch (linux/arm64 and linux/amd64) amazon/dynamodb-local images with these schemas to ECR.

Usage Requirements

For this plugin to work, you must ensure the following:

• The AWS credentials to access your table are available in the environment
• Docker is logged into ECR (e.g., by using ecr-buildkite-plugin)

Example

This will create an amazon/dynamodb-local image containing the tables Jobs and Applications and publish it to the ECR repository with URI 123456789123.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/my-ecr-repository:

steps:
  - label: Publish Dynamo Image
    plugins:
      - seek-oss/dynamodb-image#v1.3.0:
          tables:
            - Jobs
            - Applications
          repository: 123456789123.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/my-ecr-repository

To run DynamoDB on a specific port when a container is run with the image, the port argument can be provided. The following example would run DynamoDB on port 8007:

steps:
  - label: Publish Dynamo Image
    plugins:
      - seek-oss/dynamodb-image#v1.3.0:
          tables:
            - Jobs
            - Applications
          repository: 123456789123.dkr.ecr.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/my-ecr-repository
          port: 8007

Tagging

The plugin tags images differently depending on whether the build is on a feature branch or the main branch:

• Feature branch builds will tag the image as branch-BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER, e.g., branch-4985 for a build with build number 4985
• Main branch builds will tag the image with the latest tag

Configuration

Argument Name	Type	Description
repository	string (required)	The URI of the ECR repository to publish the image to.
tables	string[] (required)	The names of the DynamoDB tables.
port	number (optional)	The port that DynamoDB local will run on. Defaults to 8000.
