Documentation

aws-dynamodb-table

DynamoDB table with GSIs/LSIs, TTL, streams, autoscaling or on-demand, and point-in-time recovery. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0. The module encodes the classic DynamoDB/Terraform trap: when target-tracking autoscaling owns provisioned capacity, the table is created with ignore_changes on read/write capacity so plans stay clean — without autoscaling, capacity stays fully Terraform-managed. Exactly one table resource is created either way.

Secure defaults:

  • Server-side encryption always on (AWS-managed aws/dynamodb key, or your CMK via kms_key_arn)
  • Point-in-time recovery enabled by default
  • Deletion protection enabled by default
  • On-demand (PAY_PER_REQUEST) billing by default — no capacity to misplan

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • hashicorp/aws >= 6.0, < 7.0

aws-keyspaces

point_in_time_recovery defaults to DISABLED and Keyspaces has no snapshots or automated backups, so off means a dropped table is simply gone. PITR on, a customer-managed key, and the two one-way doors - client-side timestamps and TTL - named rather than set quietly.

aws-database-proxy

Amazon RDS Proxy in front of an RDS instance or Aurora cluster: TLS required, clients authenticate with IAM tokens while the proxy reads the password from Secrets Manager, through a role limited to those secrets. Debug logging writes SQL statement text to the logs, so it is off unless that is accepted. End-to-end IAM removes the stored password entirely.

aws-dax-cache

DynamoDB Accelerator with TLS and encryption at rest. DAX leaves both off by default, and neither can be turned on for an existing cluster, so a fix means a new cluster. This module also creates its own security group (DAX otherwise uses the VPC default), a service role limited to the named tables and their indexes, and states that writes bypassing DAX leave stale reads until the TTL.

aws-neptune

Neptune has no user, no password and no GRANT. Authorization is IAM and it defaults to OFF, so anything that can reach port 8182 can read every edge and drop the lot. IAM auth on, storage encrypted, and the audit log driven from one variable because its two halves live in different resources and either alone logs nothing.

aws-dms

ssl_mode defaults to none in AWS, so a task reads your entire production database and writes it elsewhere unencrypted. This defaults to require, refuses none unless stated, and pushes the credential into Secrets Manager rather than state.

aws-quicksight

A QuickSight subscription on Enterprise edition through IAM Identity Center, with admin, author and reader groups, termination protection on because unsubscribing deletes every dashboard, and a VPC connection with its own role so a private database stays private. The authentication method is permanent; Standard edition and QuickSight-managed users are accepted by name.
