dynamodb_utils 1.0.0

Usage Examples

You can get the (hopefully detailed enough) help with e.g.:

dynamodb-dumper --help

To dump a table, with compression:

dynamodb-dumper mytable.name --compress

To dump just a few hash-key values from a table (for example, if you want a restricted subset of data for development):

dynamodb-dumper mytable.name --compress --hash-keys 101 104 404

To load some compressed dump files on a DynamoDB Local instance running locally on port 3232:

dynamodb-loader mytable.name --host http://localhost:3232 --region localhost --load mytable.name.*.dump.gz

The tools are based upon PynamoDB, which is based upon botocore. Therefore, credentials will be read from one of many places - IAM Role, environment variables, or a ‘boto file’. See the boto documentation for more details.
