Continuous backups is a native feature of DynamoDB, it works at any scale without having to manage servers or clusters and allows you to export data across AWS Regions and accounts to any point-in-time in the last 35 days at a per-second granularity. Plus, it doesn’t affect the read capacity or the availability of your production tables. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-export-amazon-dynamodb-table-data-to-data-lake-amazon-s3/

A: Impacts RCU C: Requires coding of Lambda to read from stream to S3 D: More coding in Lambda B: AWS Managed solution with no coding

DynamoDB export to S3 is a fully managed solution for exporting DynamoDB data to an Amazon S3 bucket at scale.

A DynamoDB stream is an ordered flow of information about changes to items in a DynamoDB table… for C.U.D events ( Create, Update, Delete) and its logs are retained for only 24hrs .

Export the data directly from DynamoDB to Amazon S3 with continuous backups. Turn on point-in-time recovery for the table.

continous backup, no impact to availability ==> DynamoDB stream B. export is one off, noy continuous and demand on read capacity

minimal amount of coding rules out Lambda

ChatGpt answer is C and it indicates continuous backup process uses DynamoDB stream actually

Using DynamoDB table export, you can export data from an Amazon DynamoDB table from any time within your point-in-time recovery window to an Amazon S3 bucket. Exporting a table does not consume read capacity on the table, and has no impact on table performance and availability.

Continuous Backups: DynamoDB provides a feature called continuous backups, which automatically backs up your table data. Enabling continuous backups ensures that your table data is continuously backed up without the need for additional coding or manual interventions. Export to Amazon S3: With continuous backups enabled, DynamoDB can directly export the backups to an Amazon S3 bucket. This eliminates the need for custom coding to export the data. Minimal Coding: Option B requires the least amount of coding effort as continuous backups and the export to Amazon S3 functionality are built-in features of DynamoDB. No Impact on Availability and RCUs: Enabling continuous backups and exporting data to Amazon S3 does not affect the availability of your application or the read capacity units (RCUs) defined for the table. These operations happen in the background and do not impact the table's performance or consume additional RCUs.

DynamoDB Export to S3 feature Using this feature, you can export data from an Amazon DynamoDB table anytime within your point-in-time recovery window to an Amazon S3 bucket.
