Introducing filtered export from Amazon DynamoDB to Amazon S3

This article introduces filtered export for Amazon DynamoDB, enabling selective export of items and attributes to Amazon S3 without consuming table capacity.

• Filter exports by partition key, conditions, and specific attributes using familiar Query and Scan expression syntax
• Reads from point-in-time recovery backups, consuming no table read capacity and avoiding production traffic impact
• Recover single tenant data after incidents using incremental exports with old and new images
• Share tenant history with partners while excluding sensitive attributes like customer contact information
• Relocate tenants across regions by exporting filtered data and importing into destination tables
• Pricing matches standard export rates per GB with no filtering premium; key condition expressions reduce billable data

Filtered export enables efficient multi-tenant data recovery, selective data sharing, and cross-region migrations while maintaining security and cost efficiency.
