dynamo-throughput

Set and reset provisioned DynamoDB throughput

Usage

You can set the table's read and write capacities to perform some operation that requires a lot of throughput. After you're done, you can reset the provisioned throughput to prior levels.

var throughput = require('dynamodb-throughput')('my-table', 'us-east-1');
var queue = require('queue-async');
 
queue(1)
  .defer(throughput.setCapacity, { read: 1000, write: 1000 })
  .defer(doSomethingStrenuous)
  .defer(throughput.resetCapacity)
  .awaitAll(function(err) {
    console.log(err || 'All done!');
  });

It also works on GlobalSecondaryIndexes.

var throughput = require('dynamodb-throughput')('my-table', 'us-east-1');
var queue = require('queue-async');
 
queue(1)
  .defer(throughput.setIndexCapacity, 'my-index', { read: 1000, write: 1000 })
  .defer(doSomethingStrenuous)
  .defer(throughput.resetIndexCapacity, 'my-index')
  .awaitAll(function(err) {
    console.log(err || 'All done!');
  });
