> DynamoDB does offer autoscaling these days, which should alleviate a lot of provisioning-related headaches

The problem they noted isn't lack of autoscaling, it's that you have to provision the entire datastore to accommodate your hottest partition.

GP used the wrong term, think they meant adaptive capacity, which is a newer feature where shards will automatically lend capacity to each other in the case of hotspots.
