billingMode

Controls how you are charged for read and write throughput and how you manage capacity. This setting can be changed later.

  • PAY_PER_REQUEST - We recommend using PAY_PER_REQUEST for most DynamoDB workloads. PAY_PER_REQUEST sets the billing mode to On-demand capacity mode.

  • PROVISIONED - We recommend using PROVISIONED for steady workloads with predictable growth where capacity requirements can be reliably forecasted. PROVISIONED sets the billing mode to Provisioned capacity mode.
