Optimize your Amazon DynamoDB costs with these tips

Monitor usage and costs

Regularly check your DynamoDB usage and costs with AWS Cost Explorer. Unused tables and indices might be taking up capacity and can be deleted to reduce costs.

Use On-Demand Mode

For non-critical workloads, opt for on-demand mode instead of provisioned mode. This avoids over-provisioning of capacity and you only pay for what you use.

Apply Auto Scaling

DynamoDB's auto scaling feature dynamically adjusts read/write capacity based on workload. Avoids over-provisioning and lowers costs.

Amazon DynamoDB pricing

DynamoDB provides two payment plans: on-demand and provisioned capacity modes. The former involves charging for table reads/writes, adjusted per your workload, while the latter lets you set desired reads/writes per second, with auto scaling. Costs can be estimated using the AWS Pricing Calculator. Optimizing costs can be achieved by selecting the correct table class and using cost allocation tags. DynamoDB includes a free tier offering 25GB storage plus 25 provisioned Read/Write Capacity Units.
