Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) adds DynamoDB transactions support for Python and .NET

Posted on: Feb 14, 2019

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is now API compatible with the DynamoDB transactions SDKs for Python and .NET. As a result, you can integrate your DynamoDB applications written in Python and .NET with DAX without making changes to your existing application logic.

DAX provides a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that can accelerate reads from DynamoDB tables by up to 10 times, even at millions of requests per second. With the added transactions support for Python and .NET, DAX support for transactions is available in all DAX SDKs—Java, Node.js, Go, Python, and .NET.

To get the latest DAX SDK, see Using the DAX Client in an Application in the DynamoDB Developer Guide. For DAX pricing and regional availability, see Amazon DynamoDB Pricing.
