FYI DynamoDB in last few weeks added auto-scaling: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-auto-scaling-for-amazon-dynamodb/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-auto-scaling-for-amazon... Additionally they somewhat recently added an optional caching layer: https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/dax/ https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/dax/

Nice they finally added auto-scaling. It seems to function pretty similarly to the tool we built, with the same (documented) limitations. DAX would have definitely addressed many of our issues, had it been available at the time. Glad they added that.

  So does that address all your issues?

    No, for our usage needing to worry about provisioned capacity at all was becoming a deal-breaker. That especially became tedious to estimate and plan for as we had more variability in the size of our values we needed to store.
