dynamodb-backup-restore

This tool supports the following functionality:

• Full backup of AWS DynamoDb table to Amazon S3 bucket within or between regions.
• Incremental backup of AWS DynamoDb table to Amazon S3 bucket within or between regions.
• AWS Lambda based incremental backup of AWS DynamoDb table to Amazon S3 bucket within or between regions.
• Restore AWS DynamoDb table from Amazon S3 bucket within or between regions.
• Deploy and configure Amazon S3 backup bucket.
• Deploy, configure AWS Lambda and add event source.

Built on NodeJS classes and ECMAScript 2015 (ES6).

It can be used independently and as a dependency in your code.

AWS Lambda based incremental backup

The DynamoDB Stream StreamViewType needs to be one of NEW_IMAGE, NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES, or KEYS_ONLY.

Note that DynamoDB Streams does not support encryption at rest.

const Backup = require('dynamodb-backup-restore').Backup;

module.exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
    if (!event.Records) {
        callback('There are no items to process.');
    }
    else {
        let config = {
            S3Bucket:     'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
            S3Region:     'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
            S3Encryption: 'STRING_VALUE', /* optional */
            S3Prefix:     'STRING_VALUE', /* optional */
            DbTable:      'STRING_VALUE', /* required if stream is KEYS_ONLY, ignored otherwise */
            DbRegion:     'STRING_VALUE', /* required if stream is KEYS_ONLY, ignored otherwise */
        };
        let backup = new Backup(config);
        backup.fromDbStream(event.Records).then(() => {
            callback();
        }).catch(err => {
            callback(err);
        });
    }
}
