Question

A company has a large amount of data in an Amazon DynamoDB table. A large batch of data is appended to the table once each day. The company wants a solution that will make all the existing and future data in DynamoDB available for analytics on a long-term basis. Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

**Option A: Configure DynamoDB incremental exports to Amazon S3** is correct because:

1. **Native Built-in Feature**: DynamoDB incremental exports is a fully managed, native DynamoDB feature that requires zero infrastructure to set up or maintain. You simply configure it through the DynamoDB console or API.

2. **Handles Both Existing and Future Data**: DynamoDB supports two export types:
   - **Full export**: Exports the entire table at a point in time (covers existing data)
   - **Incremental export**: Exports only the data that changed between two points in time (covers the daily batch appends)
   Together, these satisfy the requirement to make ALL existing and future data available.

3. **Amazon S3 as Analytics Foundation**: Data exported to S3 can be queried directly using Amazon Ath
