django-dynamodb2-sessions

Info:Sessions backend dedicated for Django uses Amazon DynamoDB v.2 for data storage.
Author: Justine Żarna

If You need backend uses Amazon DynamoDB v. 1 see Greg Taylor github

First step: create DynamoDB Table

Visit your DynamoDB tab in the AWS Management Console and follow instructions:

  • Choose the Create Table option.
  • Enter your sessions table name (example: sessions).
  • Select Primary Key Type = Hash.
  • Select Hash Attribute Type as String.
  • Enter session_key for Hash Attribute Name.
  • Choose the Continue option twice.
  • Fill Provisioned Throughput Capacity (only for tests: read - 10 units, write - 5 units).
  • Choose the Continue option.
  • Choose the Create option.

Second step: installation

Install django-dynamodb2-sessions using pip:

pip install django-dynamodb2-sessions

Export your AWS key and secret key as environment variables because of security:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='YourKey'
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='YourSecretKey'
export AWS_REGION_NAME = 'YourRegion'

In your settings.py file, you'll need set variables:

import os
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.environ.get('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', '') # set Your AWS key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', '') # set Your AWS secret key
AWS_REGION_NAME = os.environ.get('AWS_REGION_NAME', '') # set Your AWS region

DYNAMODB_SESSIONS_TABLE_NAME = '' # set Your sessions table name

Set your session backend to:

SESSION_ENGINE = 'dynamodb_sessions.backends.cached_dynamodb'

or:

SESSION_ENGINE = 'dynamodb_sessions.backends.dynamodb'

Optional you can set always consistent parametr. If you are not using cache to this sessions backend you can force all reads from Dynamodb by setting True. Default: False:

DYNAMODB_SESSIONS_ALWAYS_CONSISTENT = False
