Question

Is it possible to export data from DynamoDB table in some format?

The concrete use case is that I want to export data from my production dynamodb database and import

Answer 1

I extend Valy dia solution to allow all the process of exporting with only aws-cli | jq

aws dynamodb scan --max-items 3 --table-name  \
| jq '{"": [.Items[] | {PutRequest: {Item: .}}]}' > data.json

aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name  > describe.json | jq ' .Table | {"TableName": .TableName, "KeySchema": .KeySchema, "AttributeDefinitions": .AttributeDefinitions,  "ProvisionedThroughput": {
      "ReadCapacityUnits": 5,
      "WriteCapacityUnits": 5
}}' > table-definition.json

aws dynamodb create-table --cli-input-json file://table-definition.json  --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 --region us-east-1

aws dynamodb batch-write-item --request-items file://data.json --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000

aws dynamodb scan --table-name  --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000
