DynamoDB Cost Calculator¶

You might be wondering: “AWS already offers a DynamoDB pricing calculator. Why create another one?”

Short answer: Because teams comparing DynamoDB costs with ScyllaDB costs report that the official AWS calculator is:

  • Overly complex

  • Not developer friendly

  • Insufficient for estimating the costs of real-world workloads (e.g., with bursty traffic or uneven access patterns)

To enable simpler, more accurate comparisons, we designed something a bit different.

Long answer: See the intro page.
