Tools for backup and archival
Archiving data from any database is always one of the biggest needs. We have already seen
how to archive data on AWS S3 using EMR, but there is one simple community-contrib-
uted tool, written in Node.js that helps archive data on S3. This tool saves DynamoDB data
in JSON format. It also gives you the functionality to restore the archived data to Dy-
namoDB. Let's discuss this tool in detail.
DynamoDB Table Archiver
DynamoDB Table Archiver consists of two simple Node.js scripts that fetch the data from
source tables and save it on S3. To use these scripts, you need to have Node.js installed.
The source code of the tool is available on GitHub at
