Description
I am looking at porting api-umbrella to use Amazon DynamoDB instead of MongoDB. The current design is using Mongo-specific ORM libraries in the gatekeeper and web interface. Any thoughts on how we could abstract away from any specific storage provider, so I can contributed my code back to the project? Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Mongo-specific ORM usage in the gatekeeper and web interface, then map where storage-provider assumptions are exposed. Done means the design supports abstracting the current MongoDB implementation and allows the proposed Amazon DynamoDB contribution, with the project’s existing tests still passing.
