Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon CloudWatch Integration
What is Amazon DynamoDB?
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. It is designed to work with scalable and distributed applications that require low latency and high throughput.
What is Amazon CloudWatch?
Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and management service that provides data and actionable insights for AWS resources such as Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EC2, and AWS Lambda. It can be used to monitor metrics, collect and track log files, and set alarms on specific events.
Integration of the Two through API or SDK
Amazon DynamoDB provides built-in integration with Amazon CloudWatch through API or SDK. This integration enables customers to monitor and visualize key performance metrics such as read/write capacity utilization, throttled requests, and latency.
Problems Their Integration Solves
The integration of Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon CloudWatch solves several problems that customers may face:
- Proactive Monitoring - Customers can proactively monitor their DynamoDB tables for any performance issues and set alarms to alert them before the issues affect their applications.
- Optimization - Customers can optimize their DynamoDB tables based on the performance metrics collected by CloudWatch, such as adjusting read/write capacity units or improving queries.
- Cut Costs - Customers can save costs by monitoring their DynamoDB tables for unused or underutilized resources and adjusting them accordingly.
