That limit is going to be pretty high. Adaptive capacity (or on-demand) gives you up to 3000 read capacity units / second and 1000 write capacity units / second per partition. The general solution if you think you are going to get

To be clear, the auto-scaling with provisioned capacity still lags behind demand quite a bit. The new on-demand pricing makes this a non-issue but you pay for it at much higher cost at any sort of sustained load. https://serverle

Especially with the new(ish) DynamoDB features mentioned in this article (ex: adaptive scaling), the backup and restore capabilities including Point in Time Recovery, and on-demand pricing model, makes it a really effective database when go

Entirely untested and just spitballing... use Firehose to concat a bunch of small files and store based on size or time passage as a larger file to s3. Then use Lambda transform in firehose to index the byte ranges for each record (file)? (

I’ve been working on and off for a few years to solve the time tracking problem for myself. I do a lot of things in a given day, and tracking granularly is quite hard. I’ve found I would rather just work, track it all somehow, then just bil

There's an interesting side effect I've seen that a serverless approach enables, which is that it is now much easier to logically separate your various routes and logic to "route handlers" or "services". Howeve

Beautiful, this hits a need for me. A decent changelog is something that has been on our backlog for weeks but was never quite important enough to invest the engineering time ourselves. Not only that, it's better than our specs and che

It absolutely depends on how burst driven your utilization pattern is, but don't forget the cost to actually manage the test cluster, and the engineering cycles that go into optimizing and sharding those tests across the cluster.

This would have been awesome to have back when I was heavy in to the UI test automation game. Our best option at that point was a spot instance EC2 fleet and analyzing commits to determine which tests would be the most valuable to run. It&#

For a layer of security, when using the client you could do IAM role assumption in your local machine. You have your static creds and an MFA device, then use those to export temporary credentials to actually run the bless client. http:&#x2

Someone explain what I am missing... I was able to run a simple wget, and I had 100% full functionality of an app (utilizing their API Key, and App ID and all) and run it on my local machine. Data flow is seamless between the local and host
