Comment on Amazon DynamoDB Transactionsparent

Comments

Oh cool. For those reading along this is titled "How Amazon DynamoDB adaptive capacity accommodates uneven data access patterns (or, why what you know about DynamoDB might be outdated)". Is this a new feature?

Yeah I should have elaborated a bit. I believe adaptive capacity was announced at re:invent in 2017 and may have released shortly after / maybe early 2018. The feature is getting a lot more press & push from AWS lately though for sure.

I remember having a conversation with our AWS rep about 2 years ago during our quarterly feature request meeting. I remember asking for DynamoDB autoscaling and burst capacity; pretty happy they finally delivered.

Since then we've pretty much cut our DynamoDB bill in half and had a drastic reduction in throttled responses.
