Amazon DynamoDB introduces filtered export to Amazon S3

Amazon DynamoDB Filtered Export

Amazon DynamoDB now supports filtered export for tables, allowing you to export your table data to Amazon S3 for analytics, data sharing, and offline uses. Filtered export enables you to specify exactly which items and attributes to export, producing a dataset that contains only the data relevant to your use case.

With filtered export, you can:

• Use a key condition expression on a key attribute and a filter expression on any attribute to select which items to export.
• Use a projection expression to choose which attributes to include.
• Export data as either a full export or an incremental export over a time window.

Filtered export is available in all AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

What to do

• Read the DynamoDB data export to Amazon S3 in the DynamoDB developer guide.
• Learn about filtering a table export in the DynamoDB developer guide.
• Check out the Introducing filtered export from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3 blog post.
