title: how to retrieve data using Dynamodb parallel scans using nodejs
body: <p>I am working on importing a dynamo table to S3 using nodejs. I have everything working fine but the entire copy is pretty slow as I have millions of records and the sequential scan is limited to 1MB, so I am looking in doing a parallel scan for dynamo dB using node.</p>
  
  <p>But to do that, I need to create multiple threads and assign the parallel work to those threads in node. I would like to know if there is a recommended way of doing that, or do you suggest using Data Pipeline for importing data? How do you think I should go about it?</p>
