How Adaptive works with Amazon DynamoDB

Adaptive's Amazon DynamoDB integration enables secure, Just-in-Time access to your DynamoDB tables without sharing AWS credentials directly.

Use Amazon DynamoDB with Adaptive to give database administrators, engineers, support teams and AI agents a governed workflow for database instances and the data they contain. Instead of relying on long-lived database passwords and connection secrets, teams get identity-aware controls and a connected record for review.

Adaptive brokers native database connections, applies the approved role and attributes activity to the authenticated identity.

Every request is evaluated against the database roles and authorization profiles approved for each identity. Teams can then use evidence covering database connections, sessions and query activity without piecing together identity, approval and resource records from separate systems.

What Adaptive adds to Amazon DynamoDB

Credential-less connections

For Amazon DynamoDB, broker database sessions without placing reusable database credentials in users' tools, scripts or agent environments.

Scoped database roles

For Amazon DynamoDB, apply the approved database role or authorization profile for the identity and task instead of granting broad standing access.

Query-level accountability

For Amazon DynamoDB, associate database activity with the requesting identity and preserve a searchable trail for investigations and reviews.
