Autoscaling DynamoDB

Cloud-native, with FaaS and serverless, minimize the amount of effort that is needed to scale the infrastructure that supports the service layer. However, we now need to focus on tuning the stream processors and minimize any throttling of the target data store. The following recipe demonstrates how to use DynamoDB autoscaling to help ensure that enough capacity is allocated to provide sufficient throughput and avoid throttling.

How to do it...

1. Create the project from the following template:

$ sls create --template-url https://github.com/danteinc/js-cloud-native-cookbook/tree/master/ch9/dynamodb-autoscaling --path cncb-dynamodb-autoscaling

2. Navigate to the cncb-dynamodb-autoscaling directory, cd cncb...
