On-Demand Capacity and Scaling
Explore how DynamoDB's on-demand capacity manages variable workloads by automatically scaling read and write capacities according to traffic. Understand the benefits of this flexible setting, usage considerations like cost and throughput limits, and how it helps maintain performance without manual scaling efforts.
We'll cover the following...
Having understood what provisioned capacity is and how it works, it’s time to move on to the next setting that DynamoDB has to manage and understand the traffic being received . In this lesson, we’re going to learn about on-demand capacity and how it can help us in scenarios where workloads are highly variable.
What is On-demand capacity?
On-demand capacity is more flexible than provisioned capacity, because it doesn’t need to know beforehand the traffic that is going to be received. In fact, this type of configuration is more beneficial in scenarios where there may be unpredictable and ...
