Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the different capacity modes supported by DynamoDB and gained a deep understanding of their individual characteristics. We discovered the distinctions between provisioned capacity and on-demand capacity and when each mode was most suitable for specific workloads. The concept of auto scaling in provisioned mode was explained, allowing DynamoDB tables to automatically adjust their capacity based on your fluctuating traffic patterns.

We also explored the different table classes available for DynamoDB tables and learned how to choose the right table class based on the nature of the workload. The considerations for storage and throughput costs were discussed, and you discovered various tools and methods to analyze and compare these costs effectively.

Now, you should have a comprehensive understanding of capacity modes and table classes in DynamoDB. This knowledge can equip you with the insights and tools necessary to optimize your DynamoDB...
