This project shows how to change provision capacity of DynamoDB table based on a schedule. This is helpful in certain use cases when you need instant additional capacity at a certain time point of day/week.
The Cloudformation template demonstrates adjusting Write capacity on the schedule but a similar approach can be followed for Read capacity.
Some of the parameters of cloudformation template that need to updated :
- RoleArn - Role that can perform autoscaling of the DynamoDB capacity
- PeakCronSchedule/OffPeakScheduleCron : Cron expression for your schedule
- Low and high Write capacity
