discloudDynamoDB On-Demand vs Provisioned Auto Scaling for Bursty Reads Under a Cost Ceiling
Goal Select a DynamoDB capacity mode for a table serving bursty read traffic while staying under a fixed monthly cost ceiling. On-demand mode bills per request and requires no capacity planning, which fits unpredictable spikes. Provisioned mode with Application Auto Scaling sets read capacity units and a target utilization, usually lowering the cost per requ
