    Unleash powerful cost management capabilities by integrating CostTrail with DynamoDB

    Complete DynamoDB Cost Visibility

    Track all DynamoDB costs in one dashboard across tables, indexes, and streams with detailed breakdowns by capacity mode, storage, and data transfer.

    Capacity Mode Optimization

    Compare provisioned capacity vs. on-demand mode costs based on your actual usage patterns to identify the most cost-effective approach for each table.

    Throughput Utilization Analysis

    Monitor provisioned throughput utilization and scaling patterns to optimize capacity units and autoscaling settings for maximum cost efficiency.

    Resource-Based Cost Attribution

    Allocate DynamoDB costs to specific applications, teams, or business units based on resource tags for accurate chargeback and accountability.
