My biggest fear with On-Demand is that there's no cap to the cost, and an unruly service or access pattern could blast up the RCUs/WCUs instead of getting a simple throttle and timeout. Is this a valid fear, and is there any way around it if so?
- nzoschke 8y agoIt’s a valid fear. Dynamo can get really expensive really fast with on demand or auto scaling. I have a dynamo addon for Heroku apps and need to keep cost under control. I use AWS Budgets and put a fixed price monthly budget on every table. If users go over the budgets access keys get disabled. https://elements.heroku.com/addons/autodyne https://elements.heroku.com/addons/autodyne https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-budgets/ https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-budgets/
