hey, we're back
Dynobase was my first real product. 7 years ago I built a desktop app for DynamoDB and people started paying for it. It taught me how to build, ship, sell and support software on my own, and it put my career on an exponential trajectory. A lot of what I've done since traces back to it. Then I neglected it. Other things took my time. Releases got rare, bugs piled up, and some of you waited far too long for fixes. People trusted it with their daily work and I let it slide. I've felt guilty about that for a long time. So I went back to it, properly. Today I'm proud to introduce @dynobase 3.0: almost every bug fixed, tons of new functionality, and a fresh coat of paint. A rebuilt interface, in light and dark - ⌘K to jump to any table across every profile and region - Semantic search over DynamoDB vector indexes - A built-in MCP server, so Claude Code, Cursor and other agents can query your tables (read-only unless you allow writes) - Click into nested JSON and filter on any value - Schema explorer and visual item diff - Bulk edits with a preview, PartiQL writes with a confirmation, change history with undo, on-demand backups - Live tail, CloudWatch metrics, a streams viewer, and CDK / CloudFormation / Terraform export - SSO that just works, scans you can pause and resume, and edits that won't silently overwrite someone else's changes It now runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. To everyone who kept using Dynobase while I was away: thank you, and I'm sorry. And if it ever let you down, give it another shot.

Starting 2024 with an official launch🔥 For the past month+ I've been working on @chatwithcloud, a way to chat with your AWS. How can it help you? 🛠️ Troubleshooting - understand why things aren't working 💸 Cost Analysis - why am I spending so much on AWS? 🔐 Security Analysis - IAM, KMS, S3 are complicated but my CLI can help you understand it 🧠 Even building, fixing & destroying stuff - since ChatWithCloud can do API calls on your behalf, it can even provision/update/delete resources if you want Right now, ChatWithCloud is working in a "pay once and bring your own OpenAI key" model but the keyless+subscription model is coming soon as well. Try it now, for free: chatwithcloud.ai or just `npx chatwithcloud` and let me know what do you think.

It's hard to believe but... Dynobase 2.4.0 now automatically reauthenticates our expired SSO sessions without losing your work. And `sso-session` and a bunch of new regions are now also supported. Available now.
