Can I use forest admin with dynamoDB?  
I’m using was DocumentClient to query AWS dynamoDb in my express server.

Can I somehow integrate Forest to this DB?  
Thanks

Hi @Gal_Saada,

Sadly, we do not support DynamoDB for now. At the moment, we only support Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL & MongoDB  
I’ll push this as a suggestion to our product board !

Thanks

Just a quick message to show support for adding support of dynamoDB to forestadmin 👍 Would be great! Any news on that front?

+1 - we’re trying out Forest Admin right now, and lacking a way to display our DynamoDB data within it is the biggest drawback.

@anon39848301 and all - I’ll be grateful for any suggestions on how to achieve this without out-of-the-box support.

Hi @odedmagger @thibauld

I guess a possible solution would be to create a smart collection associated to your AWS DynamoDB. I’m no expert of DynamoDB, but looking at the `aws-jdk` ([Kit SDK AWS pour JavaScript dans Node.js](https://aws.amazon.com/fr/sdk-for-node-js/)) and our smart collection documentation ([Create a Smart Collection - Documentation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/collections/create-a-smart-collection)), I’m pretty sure this kind of goal could be achieved with some code.

We also have an example here ([Display Hubspot companies - Woodshop](https://docs.forestadmin.com/woodshop/how-tos/hubspot/create-a-smart-collection-of-hubspot-companies)) which is not related to AWS/DynamoDB, but show a great example on how to display data from a third party service using the smart collection.
