Question: Is DynamoDB expensive?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
DynamoDB is priced based on usage, so the cost can vary depending on factors such as the amount of data stored and the number of reads and write requests made.However, it depends on the billing model you use. For instance, DynamoDB has two billing models:
- Provisioned: You define a throughput to be provisioned and get billed for the provisioned throughput.
- On-Demand: You pay for the throughput consumed monthly.
Depending on your configuration, your database cost will differ. You can use AWS Pricing Calculator to determine the cost of your configuration. https://calculator.aws/#/
