Query your databasesthe way they deserve
Stop fighting the AWS console. DataOrbit gives DynamoDB, CouchDB, and time-series databases the native query client they always needed — with live streaming, cross-joins, and full history.
Launching May 15, 2026
Everything the AWS consolerefuses to give you
DynamoDB without the console pain
Auto-complete filters, schema inference, PK/SK selector, paginated grid — built specifically for DynamoDB access patterns. Not a generic SQL tool bolted onto a NoSQL engine.
Live stream — watch your table breathe
UniqueOpen a stream tab and watch writes, updates, and deletes flow in real time. Zero polling, zero F5. Powered by DynamoDB Streams. Invaluable for debugging event-driven pipelines.
Cross-join across tables
UniqueLEFT JOIN, INNER JOIN, LEFT ANTI JOIN across two DynamoDB tables in a single query. Find missing records and audit inconsistencies — without exporting to S3 first.
Every query saved and searchable
Your full query history is persisted locally. Re-run yesterday's debug session with one click. Export results to JSON or CSV. No more retyping complex filter expressions.
Native binary — starts in under a second
Not an Electron wrapper. Not a browser tab. A native Rust binary compiled for your platform. No 200 MB RAM floor, no startup spinner, no Node.js lurking in the background.
Your data stays on your machine
DataOrbit reads from the standard AWS credential chain. No cloud sync, no analytics, no account required. Your queries, your data, your machine — period.
The AWS console is not a query tool. It's a form.
Every DynamoDB developer knows the pain: you open the AWS console, navigate five clicks to get to the table, type a raw JSON filter expression from memory, hit scan, and wait. Then the results don't paginate properly. Then you accidentally scan the whole table and wonder why your bill jumped.
NoSQL Workbench was supposed to fix this. It's a Java app from 2020 that crashes on M1 Macs, has no streaming, and still makes you write JSON by hand. TablePlus treats DynamoDB as a second-class citizen. DataOrbit was built from scratch for DynamoDB — nothing bolted on, nothing compromised.
Built for DynamoDB. Not bolted on.
Generic tools treat DynamoDB like a SQL table. DataOrbit was designed for it from day one.
