  • Choose the right throughput strategy for Amazon DynamoDB applications
    by Esteban Serna Parra on April 21, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    When getting started with DynamoDB, one of the first decisions you will make is choosing between two throughput modes: on-demand and provisioned. On-demand mode is the default and recommended throughput option because it simplifies building modern, serverless applications that can start small and scale to millions of requests per second. However, choosing the right throughput strategy requires evaluating your operational needs, development velocity, and application characteristics, with cost being a key consideration. In this post, we examine both throughput modes in detail, exploring their characteristics, strengths, and ideal use cases.
