Support Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)

[yasensim]

Describe the feature

We need to include DAX for our DynamoDB tables. It looks like it is not supported in aws-sdk-go-v2.

Use Case

I need to switch back to aws-sdk-go instead of aws-sdk-go-v2 if I want DAX to cache my DynamoDB queries.

Proposed Solution

Hi @yasensim ,

Have you tried https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dax ?

Thanks,
Ran

Thanks for the pointer @RanVaknin , I tried to explore it but to me it looks like it is for managing DAX cluster lifecycle. What I need is to actually use the cluster to cache dynamoDB queries like in the example HERE.
Unfortunately, aws-dax-go doesn't support aws-sdk-go-v2: aws/aws-dax-go#2

Hi @yasensim ,

Thanks for the clarification regarding your usage. After looking into this a bit deeper, this has been brought up before and it seems that as of now, there is no plan to support DAX natively. If there is, it will most likely be a cross SDK effort, and not a Go SDK-specific feature.

In general, whether we implement something is somewhat based on community impact. I encourage you to +1 or comment on that thread and perhaps these decisions will change.
I also encourage you to reach out to the DAX SDK team and voice your concerns there.

I don't want it to sound like we are giving you a wishy-washy answer, but right now this seems to be the best route to get this issue addressed.

Thank you for engaging in the community, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi @yasensim Do you know if AWS SDK2 supports DAX client, I am trying to update my SDK but couldn't find any solutions for it. Can you please let me know if you can find anything?

[yasensim]

no sorry @hmayi I gave up on v2 until this is implemented and didn't follow up!

Thanks for your reply. So are you still using V1 for DAX?
