DynamoDB - Cost Optimization and MonitoringYou configured auto-scaling but notice your table never scales up despite high traffic. Which is a likely cause?ATable has no primary keyBMinCapacity is higher than MaxCapacityCAuto-scaling is disabled in AWS ConsoleDTargetValue is set too highCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Check TargetValue effectIf TargetValue is very high, scaling triggers only at very high usage.Step 2: Understand impact on scalingHigh TargetValue delays scaling up even if traffic is high.Final Answer:TargetValue is set too high -> Option DQuick Check:High TargetValue delays scaling = A [OK]Quick Trick: Set TargetValue reasonably to trigger scaling [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESConfusing MinCapacity and MaxCapacity orderAssuming auto-scaling disables itselfThinking primary key affects scaling triggers
