Managing Throughput Capacity Automatically with DynamoDB Auto Scaling

• DynamoDB auto scaling uses the AWS Application Auto Scaling service to dynamically adjust provisioned throughput capacity on your behalf, in response to actual traffic patterns.

  • This enables a table or a global secondary index to increase its provisioned read and write capacity to handle sudden increases in traffic, without throttling.

• When the workload decreases, Application Auto Scaling decreases the throughput so that you don't pay for unused provisioned capacity.
