  title: Amazon DynamoDB Backups Exports API
  description: Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. DynamoDB uses a JSON-based wire protocol with target-specific headers in an RPC style. The API exposes operations for creating and managing tables, reading and writing items, and executing queries and scans. All requests are authenticated via AWS Signature Version 4 and use the X-Amz-Target header to specify the operation.
