Using cloud-based services without an internet connection is challenging; developing them doubly so. But it’s not impossible, as Amazon’s newly-released DynamoDB Local tool demonstrates.

DynamoDB Local is a client-side database which you can connect to when developing applications for AWS’ DynamoDB platform. That lets you test an app offline, then make it live on the cloud with no changes needed other than pointing to the correct DynamoDB endpoint.

Running as a Java executable (for JRE 7), it’s a free download. Hit the AWS blog post for more details and to download the software.
