Heckscher

The general way to export or make a backup of data from DynamoDB is to use data pipeline.

If you want a simple way of extracting the contents of your table to a file at a predetermined rate then this is the gem for you.

The contents of the table is exported to file with each line representing a row in the table.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'heckscher'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install heckscher

Usage

You need to make sure that your credentials are set in the ENV variables before running the app:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='bob'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='bob'
AWS_REGION='eu-west-1'

Currently there's only one command, and as it's a thor app you can use the help method to find out the parameters needed:

heckscher help
