DynamoDB is a powerful NoSql database that operates at any scale. Unfortunately, ensuring consistent and optimal performance sometimes requires a thorough understanding of intricate DynamoDB details. In this video, explain in easy to understand terms one of the most important features that ensures table stability and also minimizes cost: DynamoDB Autoscaling.

I start out by defining some terminology around understanding autoscaling. I then provide you an example with a table that does NOT have autoscaling enabled and why it wastes $$$. I then talk about a table with autoscaling enabled and describe how autoscaling works in detail. I conclude by showing you how to set up autoscaling on your own table using aws suggested settings.
