Bash Parallel MySQL Dump
I have a project on AWS which will eventually have over 100 client databases each estimated in the 1~2GB size. I need to do daily backups of each database via mysqldump not the standard AWS RDS daily snapshots.
In bash I loop through a list and dump each db one after the other which is likely to take a few hours. My question is
Is it adviseable to do a bash fork and dump the DBs in parallel?
bash shell-script mysql

the plan is to dump to an EFS(NFS) then move to S3 standard bucket.
