Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, NoSQL, fully managed database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. Starting today, we have made Amazon DynamoDB even more cost-effective by reducing prices for on-demand throughput by 50% and global tables by up to 67%.
DynamoDB on-demand mode offers a truly serverless experience with pay-per-request pricing and automatic scaling without the need for capacity planning. Many customers prefer the simplicity of on-demand mode to build modern, serverless applications that can start small and scale to millions of requests per second. While on-demand was previously cost effective for spiky workloads, with this pricing change, most provisioned capacity workloads on DynamoDB will achieve a lower price with on-demand mode. This pricing change is transformative as it makes on-demand the default and recommended mode for most DynamoDB workloads.
Global tables provide a fully managed, multi-active, multi-Region data replication solution that delivers increased resiliency, improved business continuity, and 99.999% availability for globally distributed applications at any scale. DynamoDB has reduced pricing for multi-Region replicated writes to match the pricing of single-Region writes, simplifying cost modeling for multi-Region applications. For on-demand tables, this price change lowers replicated write pricing by 67%, and for tables using provisioned capacity, replicated write pricing has been reduced by 33%.
These pricing changes are already in effect, in all the Amazon Web Services regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, starting November 1, 2024 and will be automatically reflected in your Amazon Web Services bill.
