About
Dynasight analyzes tables, indexes, capacity, and workloads to uncover waste, surface performance risks, and prioritize the fixes with the greatest impact.
Features
- Problem
- DynamoDB waste can hide in table and index configuration.
- How it works
- Detects expensive tables, unused or underused GSIs, and overprovisioned provisioned-capacity tables.
- Result
- Teams get review candidates for cost-saving changes.
- Why
- These conditions may continue creating storage, write, or unused-capacity costs.
- Problem
- Frequent scans and late filtering can increase reads and latency.
- How it works
- Surfaces scan-heavy workloads and FilterExpression misuse alongside table-design context.
- Result
- Engineers can investigate more targeted query paths, index strategies, or table design changes.
- Why
- These patterns can signal that existing keys, indexes, or query paths do not fit the workload.
- Problem
- Raw monitoring signals do not form an actionable backlog.
- How it works
- Ranks findings by impact, confidence, and engineering context, with plain-English risk and review guidance.
- Result
- Monitoring becomes a prioritized optimization backlog.
- Why
- Teams need to decide which cost and performance issues deserve attention first.
- Problem
- Production audits must not change AWS resources automatically.
- How it works
- Connects through a read-only AWS IAM role and does not make automatic AWS changes.
- Result
- Engineers review and implement changes on their own terms.
- Why
- Teams can inspect DynamoDB safely while retaining control of remediation.
- Problem
- Optimization work can disappear after an initial review.
- How it works
- Keeps resolved findings visible and supports sharing findings with the team.
- Result
- Progress remains trackable over time.
- Why
- Teams need continuity across cost-review and remediation work.
Product questions
What does Dynasight do?
Dynasight is a DynamoDB monitoring and optimization platform for AWS engineering teams. It uses read-only AWS access to analyze tables, indexes, capacity, scans, and access patterns, then turns the resulting cost and performance signals into prioritized engineering findings.
