I didn't suggest ElastiCache because it has to be in the same VPC since ElastiCache is a pain as such its likely a much more expensive solution than using DAX (again have yet to compare the pricing) and I wasn't certain how ElastiCache would work with DynamoDB Global Tables which is a common upgrade path for DynamoDB so did I not want to suggest an expensive and technical dead-end solution.
Not arguing just more food for thought and taking this conversation well off course.
Oh I see, sorry about that. From what I can remember, I did a quick comparison when DAX just came out and it was more expensive, specifically for our use case then. But this was back then.
Hehe but if you didn't take it off course I wouldn't have learned something new. Thanks
Iām a full stack engineer working at Numu, in charge of developing web and mobile apps, handling AWS applications and devOps tasks. I may also write sporadically about my technical adventures.
This has been really informative. I have a production-level app deployed on AWS (API, DB, Frontend). I've learned all the services I've had to encounter from google, blogs, and documentation. Unfortunately, I have not had the need to tinker with DynamoDB and a number of other necessary services as well.
I have started a learning path for AWS Solutions Architect certification and will be writing more blogs as a means of keeping notes and sharing what I learn.
Hi Andrew, can you recommend a video or article where I can find step by step implementation of that process? I mean put the record to sqs, process it with lambda and save to dynamo db with reducing the cost of db? thank you in advance!
