There’s still 2 unresolved problems (at least) here: 1. running a ping test is a fine start but wouldn’t a more realistic test be to rerun the benchmark? 2.

There’s still 2 unresolved problems (at least) here: 1. running a ping test is a fine start but wouldn’t a more realistic test be to rerun the benchmark? 2. in a multi-az setup you’re going to have to pay for inter-az transfer costs between ec2 nodes. data transfer between ec2 and dynamodb is free. Also on the pricing front reserved capacity really drops your costs with dynamodb if you know you’re going to be with it for some term of time. Not that that needed to be included in the benchmark but... aws pricing is complicated, to say the least.
