A python based package that allows you to back up, restore, and seed dynamodb database tables.
Sometimes you want to make a small modification to your dynamodb table, however it usually requires destruction of the table itself. This library allows you to do those small modifications without any headache. You can easily backup all your data to your local computer, delete the table, create a new one with desired modifications, and then simply restore it!
