Cost Optimization Techniques and Tools for Existing DynamoDB Workloads
As your application needs grow and scale, you want to focus on innovation and not pay for increasing costs. By building modern applications with AWS purpose-built databases, you can take control to optimize your spending. Customers using Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed, serverless, key-value NoSQL database, can run high-performance applications at any scale with a database that automatically scales up and down to fit your needs. Join this webinar and learn how to maximize your cost efficiency on your existing DynamoDB workloads with the latest expert-tested best practices, techniques, and tools.
Learning Objectives:
* Objective 1 – Learn about DynamoDB capacity modes and how to select the right one based on your workload.
* Objective 2 – Learn about the new DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access table class to reduce storage costs by up to 60%.
* Objective 3 – Learn how to use AWS Cost Explorer and other tools to identify usage costs per region.
Amazon DynamoDB
DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. It supports document and key-value data models and provides a rich set of API operations for data reading, writing, and secondary indexing. DynamoDB is designed to handle large amounts of read and write traffic and provides fast and predictable performance, making it a popular choice for web, mobile, gaming, and IoT applications.
DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access (IA)
DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access (IA) is a storage class in Amazon DynamoDB that stores infrequently accessed data with lower fees than standard storage. The Standard-IA storage class is intended for data that may still need to be retrieved in a reasonable amount of time but for which a lower fee is acceptable for the increased retrieval latency. The data retrieval performance for Standard-IA is slower than for the standard storage class, but it can still provide a good balance between cost and performance for data that is not frequently accessed. Data stored in the Standard-IA class is still highly durable and is stored across multiple availability zones to ensure high availability.
AWS Cost Explorer
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cost Explorer is a cost management tool that provides visibility into your AWS cost and usage data. It lets you view your costs, usage, and cost trends over time and includes cost optimization recommendations based on your usage patterns. With Cost Explorer, you can visualize price and usage data, create custom reports and graphs, and set alerts to help manage your AWS costs. You can also identify cost drivers and allocate costs across multiple cost dimensions, such as linked accounts, services, tags, or operations. Cost Explorer is designed to help you understand and manage your AWS costs, enabling you to make informed decisions about your resource usage and cost optimization.
