Using DAX with DynamoDbClient

[enroly-mike]

Just wondering if there is an example floating around of using DAX with DynamoDbClient. Something equivalent of this code for NodeJS.

let dynamoDB: DynamoDB.DocumentClient;
  if ((process.env?.DAX_ENDPOINT ?? '') !== '') {
    dynamoDB = new DynamoDB.DocumentClient({
      service: new AmazonDaxClient({
        region: process.env.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION,
        endpoint: process.env.DAX_ENDPOINT
      })
    });
  } else {
    dynamoDB = new DynamoDB.DocumentClient({
      region: process.env.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION,
      endpoint: process.env.DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT
    });
  }

Thanks in advance

Since DAX actually uses a totally separate client and protocol, you can't use the Rust SDK with DAX directly unfortunately. I've relayed your request to the DAX team.

Thanks for the update Russell.

Is there any update or roadmap here? It looks like we're still limited to go, java, nodejs, python and .net for a data plane dax client. If we're using rust, are we just forced to go with elasticache or another solution for in-memory caching atop of dynamodb?

We'd love to be able to use this as well.
