Agree totally. The solution to overcome those shortcomings in AWS, is to sort of put bandaid's with more services (at least their suggestion). I do understand, its not feasible to provide service which fits for everyone, however it will be good if they solve the fundamental problem.

One more to add in the list.

In DynamoDB during peak (or rush hour) you can scale which increases the underlying replica's(or partitions) to keep the reads smooth. However, after the rush hour there is no way to drop those additional resources. May be someone can correct me, if I am wrong.

You can scale down, but it is limited.

You start each 24hr period with 4 chances to scale down, and after those are depleted you can scale down once every 4 hrs regardless

You can scale DynamoDB down the same way you scale it up.

Perhaps you're thinking of some kind of autoscaling that only works in one direction?

Thanks. Not the auto scaling part. I thought even manually if you scale up with new replica's, we can't scale down. I should read the manual and get a clear picture.
