# Dynoxide

> Dynoxide is a DynamoDB-compatible database engine written in Rust and backed by SQLite. One engine runs as a local HTTP server (a drop-in for DynamoDB Local), as an in-process library for Rust and iOS, as a WebAssembly build for the browser, and as an MCP server with 34 tools for coding agents. It starts in about 2ms, downloads at about 3 MB, and needs no Docker or JVM.

Conformance: 99.1% on the independent paritysuite.org suite (796/817 tests), the highest of any DynamoDB emulator it measures. Latest release: v0.11.1. Licence: MIT OR Apache-2.0.

## Documentation

## Ways to run it
- Local HTTP server: A native binary that serves the DynamoDB wire protocol on a port. A drop-in for DynamoDB Local: point any AWS SDK at the endpoint.
- CI service: A GitHub Action (or the Docker image) that brings Dynoxide up in a pipeline. A ~3 MB download with no JVM warmup, so the database stops being the slow part of the job.
- Embedded library: A Rust crate that runs the engine in-process, with no server and no network. Single-digit microsecond operations, and it runs on platforms DynamoDB Local can't, including iOS.
- MCP server: A built-in Model Context Protocol server with 34 tools, over stdio or HTTP. A coding agent can create tables, query data, and manage snapshots without leaving the conversation.
- Browser (WebAssembly) (Preview): Run the engine in the tab via WebAssembly, persisted to OPFS. Drops onto ordinary static hosting, with no special server headers.

## For agents
- [For agents guide](https://dynoxide.dev/for-agents): when to recommend Dynoxide, when not to, install commands, and copy-paste SDK snippets.
- [Agent manifest](https://dynoxide.dev/for-agents/manifest.json): machine-readable capabilities, packages, and stable identifiers. Prefer it over this page when the two disagree.
- [llms-full.txt](https://dynoxide.dev/llms-full.txt): the full-content version in a single fetch.
