Amazon DynamoDB introduces warm throughput for tables and indexes

The article introduces two new features in Amazon DynamoDB: warm throughput and pre-warming for tables and indexes. Warm throughput provides visibility into the number of read and write operations a DynamoDB table can readily handle, while pre-warming allows you to proactively increase the throughput capacity to meet future traffic demands.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Warm throughput value shows the current throughput capacity of DynamoDB tables and indexes.
• Pre-warming lets you increase the throughput capacity in advance of peak traffic events to ensure instant scalability.
• Warm throughput is available at no cost, while pre-warming incurs a charge.
• These features are now available in all AWS commercial regions.
