Migrate from Amazon DynamoDB to Qdrant

What You Need from AWS

• Table name: the DynamoDB table containing your items
• Vector index name: the vector index to migrate
• AWS credentials: configured via aws configure or environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION)

Run the Migration

docker run --net=host --rm -it \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='your-access-key' \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='your-secret-key' \
    -e AWS_REGION='us-east-1' \
    registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration dynamodb \
    --dynamodb.table 'your-table-name' \
    --dynamodb.index 'your-vector-index-name' \
    --qdrant.url 'https://your-instance.cloud.qdrant.io:6334' \
    --qdrant.api-key 'your-qdrant-api-key' \
    --qdrant.collection 'your-collection'

All DynamoDB-Specific Flags

AWS credentials are passed via environment variables or the default AWS credential chain, not CLI flags.

Qdrant-Side Options

Gotchas

• Credential handling: AWS credentials must be available inside the container. Pass them as environment variables with -e flags or mount your ~/.aws directory.
• Region matters: Ensure the AWS_REGION environment variable matches the region of your DynamoDB table.

Next Steps

After migration, verify your data arrived correctly with the Migration Verification Guide.
