GLUDB provides a fairly simple way to read/write data to some popular datastores like Amazon's DynamoDB and Google Cloud Datastore. We provide:
- A simple abstraction layer for annotating classes that should be stored in the database
- Support for versioning by automatically storing change history with the data
- Automated "indexing", which includes querying on the value of indexes
- Automated, configurable backup to Amazon's S3 (and Glacier depending on how you configure the S3 buckets)
We currently support Python 2 (2.7 and greater) and 3 (3.4 and greater). The data stores currently supported are:
- sqlite
- DynamoDB
- Google Cloud Datastore
- MongoDB
You can install from PyPI using pip:
pip install gludb
You will also need to install any dependencies you need based on the functionality you want to use:
- DynamoDB Backend - boto
- Google Cloud Datastore - googledatastore
- MongoDB - pymongo
- Backups - boto
These dependencies are included in setup.py so that you can install them all at the same time (assuming a fairly recent version of pip). As an example, you could install gludb and the dependencies needed for dynamodb and backup support into a virtualenv using Python 3 like this:
user@host:~$ virtualenv -p python3 env
user@host:~$ . env/bin/activate
user@host:~$ pip install --upgrade pip wheel
user@host:~$ pip install gludb[dynamodb,backups]
