Amazon DynamoDB introduces filtered export to Amazon S3

Amazon DynamoDB now supports filtered export for tables, allowing you to export only the items and attributes you need to Amazon S3

Amazon DynamoDB now supports filtered exports for tables, allowing you to export table data to Amazon S3 either as a full export or incremental export over a time window. Using key condition expressions on key attributes and filter expressions on any attributes, you can select items to export and choose which attributes to include with projection expressions, creating datasets containing only the data needed for your case. This subset data enables detailed data recovery, moving data slices between accounts, and performing analysis while meeting compliance rules. Filtered exports are available for both full and incremental exports in all AWS regions except AWS GovCloud (US).
