dynamoquery VS tagger

DynamoQuery this open source project from Altitude Networks provides and Object-Relational-Mapper (ORM) for interacting with Amazon DynamoDB, and fills a hole for Python developers who might have been looking for this. They have been using this project in house for a while now, so you know that it should be good to go. How will you use it and perhaps contribute to this project? Check out the blog, Introducing DynamoQuery: Python AWS DynamoDB ORM for more details.

For me personally, it was my first year working full time as a developer and I enjoyed it a lot. I had the opportunity to learn and use Java libraries like jOOQ and Vavr. (if you use Java and haven't tried them, give them a shot! ). Furthermore, I wrote my first Python tool (Tagger) and summarized my experience here. Aside from all the pandemic-related issues this year was pretty exciting for me and I'm curious to read about your accomplishments in the comments!

tagger is an open source tool from Tobias Haindl that will help you to stay on top of your AWS resource tagging. Tobias has also written this great post that shows you how you can use this tool to report/audit on your current tagging coverage, and then use it to update/apply tags to your resources. I think this is going to be a very popular tool, as good tagging hygiene is foundational to good Cloud governance and management.

A short summary of lessons I learned from writing my first python packages: taggercore and taggercli. More infos about them can be found here:
