After two years of using dynamodb I would gladly slap the team that came up with it. Especially the throttling mechanism

Depends your traffic profile and pockets. If your traffic follows a nice and constant increase/decrease pattern it's fine. If you have huge sudden spikes like we do...the only option is to turn it to on demand charging ...which is slightly more expensive but you don't have all the problems that come with bursting capacity, throttling and scaling.
