Error: dynamodb autoscaling not fast enough

What's Causing This Error

You may run into this issue if your scaling policy for your DynamoDB table needs to be higher. For example, suppose your target utilization (percentage of consumed provisioned throughput at a given time) is 90%. In that case, application auto-scaling will wait until your DynamoDB table is close to 90% utilization before scaling up.

Solution: Here's How To Resolve It

To fix this issue, I recommend looking at the target utilization and providing a value between 20% to 90% that best suits your needs. This can be done using a trial/error method or by analyzing the metrics of your table.
